Egads

Egads. From this week's Parade Magazine:

Parade pic of Trebek listing Italian, Spanish, Russian, and Swahili as languages he can 'get by in'
Wow. I'm very surprised that he didn't list French.

And even more surprised that he did list Russian. Because, frankly, his Russian accent is dreadful. And he doesn't even know the basic G=V rule for genitives!

  1. I'm amazed he didn't list French either, because his diction is fairly good. I'm just grateful he didn't try to claim Portuguese ;-)

    (I suspect the answer was supplied to "Parade" by a publicist, although such an individual should've known to mention French).
