Leicester too confusing to pronounce for foreign reporters
Sports reporters on TV and radio around the world have been avoiding mention of the English Premier League because they fear ridicule for mispronouncing league leaders Leicester City's name, according to a leading media analyst.
Initially most reporters in the US and Europe had pronounced the name "Lye-chester" until a video went viral by self-styled celebrity pedant Stephen Fry, in which he mocks Americans' mispronunciation.
Now unsure of what to say, most reporters avoid any talk of the surprise leaders who have defied the odds to maintain a five-point lead over Tottenham with nine games left to play.
Some pundits have referred to Leicester by their nickname, the foxes, but they have been advised not to after use of the term led to complaints from rabbit and chicken enthusiasts, who claim it upsets them.

Newcastle swoop for ACDC singer
Newcastle Utd are set to replace sacked manager Steve McClaren with Brian Johnson, the geordie lead singer of veteran Australian rockers ACDC, according to club insiders.
It is believed the club have once again decided to turn to a local legend as a morale-booster in their uphill struggle to avoid relegation after Johnson dropped out of ACDC's forthcoming world tour on doctor's orders due to his impaired hearing.
Newcastle owner Mike Ashley is said to have opted for Johnson on learning that his first choice Andy Capp was a fictitious character.
Steve McClaren is expected to accept a lucrative offer to train CIA-backed Islamic rebels in Libya.
