Sorry if they were already mentioned but didn't spot it on the updated pronunciation list.
And forgot to mention in my earlier post but my colleague said that she's pronouncing some Hawaiian words incorrectly. Hawaii is Huh-vuh-ee, not Huh-wa-ii but noted that even locals may use the American pronunciation. I'll give her a pass on that one. Kahala is Kuh-ha-luh, not Cah-ha-luh like she constantly says. If she has been vacationing there since childhood, shouldn't she, at the very least, know the pronunciation of Kahala since Ginette lives next to Kahala Beach?
She said other Hawaiian word so I looked them up! Kauai is of one of the Hawaiian islands. She says Kuh-wah-ee but it is pronounced Kuh-why. These small Hawaiian pronunciation blunders would make sense if she was a new visitor but she visits that state every year, sometimes more than once!
At 29:37 you vaguely hear Ginette say Ala Moana Park (a-la mo-ah-nuh) and Elle goes ahead and say ah-la instead. I'm convinced that some of her mispronunciations are caused by some kind of speech impediment due to the length of that list we are all adding to.
I understand that, depending on your language of origin, pronouncing words in a different language may pose some difficulty. Hawaiian is a language with a ton of vowels and Elle is fluent in English so she shouldn't have pronunciation issues with Hawaiian words. No doubt she has heard these words pronounced correctly during her many Oahu vacations.

Did she just eye-

Shortly after Elle admits that she's feeling manic
