It's "COMMA-LAH," not "KUH-MAL-UH."

Having been pronouncing the soon-to-be VP's name wrong for "forever", I thought I'd pass this on.

For those who have been saying it wrong for years, this switch may take practice.

But when she becomes president in 4 years, we should be able to get it right.

1. Is it cool if I just call her Madam Vice President? nt

[canetoad]

8. MVP

[qwlauren35]

2. Yeah

that works. We have 3 months to practice.

3. Roland of Gilead danced the Commala in Wolves of the Calla

Just before engaging in an epic battle

So, too, will our intrepid heroes engage in battle for the sake of our nation

[happybird]

17. I thought of the same thing!

His impressive Commala won over the the last of the fence-sitters and nay-sayers in the Calla.
Seems fitting.

Long days and pleasant nights to you.

[Roland99]

20. May you have twice the number.

[lsewpershad]

4. Ka- ma-la

[malaise]

13. That is correct

[R B Garr]

5. Kamala means "lotus" in Sanskrit per MSNBC.

That’s probably old news for many here, but I just saw it on MSNBC today.

6. ...

7. Perfect sign language, my dear dweller!

9. h-k

[stillcool]

10. I saw that today too...

... it's nice knowing how she would like her name pronounced, and with the comma,,,,it's pretty easy

[NotANeocon]

11. Are you sure -

- it's not "Cam-ill-ah" or Cam-eel-ah"?

[qwlauren35]

12. How bad

did Trump butcher it?

[NotANeocon]

14. Drumphwill make it -

- commie- laa or even commie-law and variations thereof.

[shanti]

15. And it's NOT Kampala!

Geez, I've been seeing that on twitter!

[hvn_nbr_2]

18. I texted Kamala to someone and my iPhone changed it Kampala.

It really annoys me when it changes things I specifically typed one way and it just changes it without even asking.

If you're seeing Kampala, it might not be that the posters are dumb; they may just be inattentive to what their software is doing. Sometimes it even changes things after I hit "send".

[shanti]

19. Ah...

I can understand that!

[Iggo]

23. Autocorrect is a mother ducker.

[UTUSN]

16. Yip, she said it on The View: "comma" plus "la"

[Raine]

21. OK, couldn't be sure if it was Com or Cam

and she's my Senator so now I know.

[Iggo]

22. Harris.

Hard to mess that up.

[Blue Owl]

25. K&R

[la-trucker]

26. It is Come-uh-la

[Iggo]

27. It's not.

[la-trucker]

31. I speak Hindi fluently

It is hard to phonetically express it but it is cuh-muh-laa or come-ul-la

[radius777]

28. "Camel-uh" is the most common mispronunciation

that I tend to hear. It's probably intentional on the part of some.

Her name is beautiful and is easy to say, just how you explained it and she explained on The View.

[USALiberal]

29. lighten up! nt

[Yavin4]

30. This should help
