òm.a.róe.sa or òe.ma.róe.sa?
Why can't this country agree on ANYTHING? There is ONE person in public life with the bizarre name, perhaps unique on this planet, “Omarosa”. One word of all the hundreds of thousands of ordinary words plus names in the English language, and we can't agree on how to say it!
+
How the f* stupid has this country become that we can't agree on even the pronunciation of ONE name? I'm not demanding that we agree on an evaluation of that woman's character or trustworthiness, only that we agree on how to pronounce her f* name!
+
I tried a Google Search on how SHE pronounces her name, but came up empty. Why? No: why on EARTH not?
+
Is this now a Nation of mental defectives, retards? Why can't we get one simple answer to one simple question? Why is EVERYTHING ridiculously complicated now? — every damned thing!? How can we even ASPIRE to find areas of agreement on issues of ideology, or even fact, in public-policy matters, if we can't agree on even how to pronounce ONE DAMNED WORD? +\

UPDATE, September 3rd: I searched again and found a CSPAN interview in which Omarosa herself pronounces her name, as òe.ma.róe.sa, and defines it as a Yoruba (Nigerian) word meaning "belovèd child". She adds that her father gave her that name. So now we know. And now that we DO know, can we all stop saying òm.a.róe.sa, with a short-O at the beginning? Thank you.
