Fray-mon, Fray-, oh never mind.

Oh, this is too funny. A category on Jeopardy! tonight is "The John C. Frémont Experience". Alex started off calling him "Fray-mon" but after three contestants and a taped clue-giver said "Free-mont" Alex started saying it that way, too.

(oh, I know: there is an É there, but still, it's /fri:ma:nt/ not /frɛːmɔ̃/ ... He wasn't from France, after all.)
