3. I read the transcript and that word jumped out.
I wondered to myself "How did he pronounce that? Because it sure wouldn't have been correctly." So now I know - thanks!

4. I heard him mangle it. It was literally laugh out loud funny.
Almost as good as the mangling of subliminal some years ago. "Subliminible."
