Even in my university math (and everything else) lectures, the professors encourage students to speak up at any point if they have any questions or don't understand something. Not being allowed to say anything sounds lovely and you might as well just be watching a YouTube video at home. Hell, at least you could rewind the parts you don't get.

"Mario" is just the male version of "Maria" which is just "Mary". That cartoon plumber is called Mary. Super Mary Brothers. Huh.

Klaus Maria Brandauer is basically a girl! e: OK here's one for the thread: Klaus Maria Brandauer is actually called Klaus Georg Steng and Maria Brandauer was his mother's name.

"Mario" is from the Latin "Marius", which probably has to do with the god Mars; "Maria" and "Mary" are both from Hebrew's "מִרְיָם" through Greek Μάρια/Μάριαμ. They're unrelated.

Mario. Maria as a form of Mary (i.e. Catholics naming their daughters after Our Lady of Perpetual Apathy or whatever) is derived from the Hebrew name. Stress on the second syllable. Maria as a feminine form of Marius/Mario would have the stress on the first syllable. The distinction hardly matters these days as any country that speaks a Romance language is also Catholic enough to be naming girls after the Mother of God.

Related, unfortunately the Michael Medved that was a pioneer with his brother in making fun of b-movie schlock with their books, which is a direct progenitor to things like MST3K, is the same Michael Medved that is an rear end in a top hat right wing conservative talk radio host.

Yeah OK I don't understand how people can mispronounce Mario (as in, the video game character, anyway) when he will happily yell his name at you in any number of games.

Both of those are loanwords from languages that don't have that sound. e: I'm aware of dialects, but spelling one the way the word's actually spelled implies "correctness".
