He calls it MITHepristone, perhaps among other things. There should be a law. You can't ban it if you can't say it.

Reminds me of a story my dad told years ago. Reagan's CIA head William Casey lobbied Congress for more money to fight Sandinistas in Nicaragua. But he couldn't properly pronounce Nicaragua and his foes joked that he shouldn't get money for what can't say properly.
