ARGGGH there’s no damn K sound anywhere in it. It’s “kind of but barely” a ch-ish sound that’s the best description. A really lazy listening of it might lead people to think that at first. That probably explains European-versions of native and asian place and peoples names though.

I thought Limbaugh and Hannity were doing it to be asshats… then I heard *everyone* else doing it to.

It’s like nails on Chalkboard to me MAKKKKKMOOOD ACKKKKMEDINNEJAD!

Well there is the “khet” ח sound in Hebrew which is the hard, back-of-the-throat KHHHHHH and then there is the aspirated “ch” which is softer, like Russian “X” or German “ch”

This sound, the hard & the soft, doesn’t exist in English but Scots comes close to it with words like “loch”
