We've all been pronouncing Nutella wrong for years, claims confirms
It seems we've been pronouncing this iconic brand's name wrong for the past six decades, and people still haven't taken the hint despite the key letter being in bold It seems that we've been pronouncing it one of the UK's most popular food product wrong. Nutella, the world-renowned chocolate spread, is a staple in many UK households and the cherry on top for many desserts. After all these years, you'd be surprised to know you've been pronouncing its name wrong for years. Nutella got invented in the 1960s in Italy, and since then, it has become a worldwide sweet treat enjoyed by millions. Its name is a blend of the word 'nut' and 'ella', which means 'sweet'. Interestingly, the word 'nut' in bold reads as 'noot' or 'new' in its native language, Italian. The chocolate spread is considered popular in the UK, especially as the go-to breakfast spread and baking ingredient. Supermarkets stock the product in various sizes, but surprisingly, the chocolate spread isn't as popular as it is in other European countries. According to EWFM, France is the largest consumer of Nutella, over 25 per cent of the world 's Nutella gets consumed and produced in the country itself. For the past 61 years of spreading smiles, many fans assumed that the hazelnut-chocolate brand got as pronounced as it appeared on the jar: 'Nut-ell-uh', right? Well, it turns out that we've been saying it wrong this entire time, but Ferrero has now cleared up the confusion around its pronunciation. A total of 88% of Brits admitted to mispronouncing the brand, reports Wales Online. Not everyone knows that the correct pronunciation is 'NOU-tell-uh', not 'NUT-ella', as the Italian brand expands. To make things even more confusing, the packaging features the word in bold letters, which is a design that confuses English speakers into mispronouncing it. This method works in Europe, but it creates a genuine funny pronunciation mistake for English-speaking countries. Jack Bird, branding expert for Add People, the SME Digital Marketing agency, said: 'The confusion lies in the brand's international roots - a problem many brands face when expanding from an SME to a global product.' But don't feel too ashamed about misspronouncing it, as the brand itself has used the incorrect pronunciation over the years through their adverts. James Steward, Marketing Director for Nutella, Ferrero UK & Ireland, also confirmed its correct pronunciation in 2021, saying: 'As Nutella is enjoyed in every corner of the world, there have long been some fun debates on how it should be pronounced.' So the debate has been closed, it's 'NOU-tell-uh ', not 'NUT'ella'. Don't get it wrong next time you do your groceries!

Like no other: wise words about Ozzy Osbourne
In the anodyne world of modern music it's doubtful that we'll see his likes again, unless Taylor Swift wakes up one morning and decides to forego the corn flakes and semi-skimmed milk and nibbles bat for breakfast. Mr O definitely had his rough edges and notorious moments, but Scots-raised rock critic and LA resident Eve Barlow probably describes him best when she writes: 'Ozzy Osbourne wasn't a performer like any other. He never broke character. Character never broke him.' Wise words about a wild man. Mind your language Time for a weird coincidence. Reader Sandy Butler says: 'If you spell 'absolutely nothing' backwards you get 'gnihton yletulosba', which means absolutely nothing. How suspicious is that?' 'Agatha Christie's potboiler Murder on the Orient Express would have been so much more unusual,' says reader Chris Robertson, 'if the train had turned out to be the killer.' (Image: Contributed) Wipe out A Diary mention of the Sistine Chapel reminds Bert Houliston of visiting Rome and meeting two Dublin women. When Bert revealed he'd previously been to the city they agreed to let him be their guide. After seeing many famous landmarks it was time for the Sistine Chapel. Our correspondent left his new pals in the shade and went to the ticket booth only to be informed that the chapel was closed for the rest of the day. Bert told his pals. When they asked why, our mischievous reader said: "My Italian's not that good, but the guy said something about painting the ceiling.' Bert expected visible outrage regarding this desecration of great art. Instead he got a "that's a shame" from one woman and a "will we have time to get to the Trevi Fountain?" from the other. Michelangelo was surely spinning in his grave. Fighting talk A pal of Alana McDonald was discussing a dispute she was having with her neighbour, leading her to conclude: 'That's the problem when you don't have your own private army.

Edinburgh street performer on the podium at the magic 'Olympics'
Matthew Keys, an Edinburgh-based magician, has just returned from Turin where he spent 10 days competing at Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques (FISM), the 'Olympics' of magic. On Saturday he won third prize in the new category of World Champion Of Street Magic. Out of more than 100 applicants, 29 were invited to compete in Turin and just twelve were deemed to be of a high enough standard to compete in the final. Matt said it was a real surprise to get through in the tough weather conditions and against the high standard set by other acts. He said: 'This is a brand new category so it's a historic moment as FISM recognises the ancient art of street magic, which many believe is where performance magic began. 'The competition took place in Turin, Italy and was organised by FISM in cooperation with the host partner Magic Masters. The conference and competition happens every three years with around 5,000 magicians attending from all over the world. 'It's regarded as the highest level at which you can compete as a magician. I have a nine month old, and was torn about leaving him and my partner to go off and compete, but we're all glad I made the decision to go to Italy. I'm so happy to bring back a prize and I've already had offers to perform at festivals across Europe because of it. 'I'm now hoping to use momentum from this win as a platform to organise a little magic and street arts festival on the Plymouth Barbican and in South East Cornwall where I grew up and my parents still live. In Edinburgh, I hope to one day open a small magic theatre as I think it is the perfect city to celebrate magic and there is a great community of magicians here. Several of them were in Italy and offering kind words and support as I competed.' And as for the trick he perfected for Turin, Matthew explained it in detail (without giving it away of course). He said: 'I performed a comedy magic show called Matt Von Trap, and had to adapt to entertain an Italian crowd. Using jokes I'd pre-recorded on a sound board and mixing mime and visual comedy with the existing magic act I performed to a strict 25 minute time limit – having to cut from my usual 40 minute act. 'I performed a mixture of classic magic and new effects. Turning a bubble into a coin. Producing another coin by peeling the letters 'n' and 'o' off from a tattoo on my arm that says 'nothing'. Leaving a 'thing' on my arm and the letters N and O burst into a fireball to become another coin. Nothing up my sleeve! 'I plunged my hand into a bear trap to find a signed card. This is an innovative version of the linking rings with my own unique choreography. 'I made several audience members knights of the guild of the bag of mystery as we hunted for a missing €100 and saved it from the jaws of the lemon of doom. 'I've now got invitations to perform in a few festivals around Europe and I'm looking forward to taking an act I've honed on the streets of Edinburgh to new audiences.'
