I had a physics prof who pronounced it I-zero
Actually, I can’t see what’s wrong with it. Please explain.
Guessing - it’s because the operation took place over multiple days. If that’s your objection, you’re wrong. The term D-Day refers to the start of an operation. If it lasts several days, the next day is D+1, the day after that is D+2, and so on. As for the WWII invasion of Normandy, D-Day took place on June 6th 1945.
D-Day was in June 1944.
D’oh.
It was scheduled to commence on 5 June 1944, but was postponed 24 hours because of bad weather.
And even if we go by D+ convention, the Germans had capitulated by D+365 (June 6th 1945).
ETA: And the Declaration regarding the defeat of Germany had been made on 5th June 1945.
Similarly, I’m fairly sure I recall some politician referring to the late North Korean dictator as “Kim Jong the Second”.
Stock footage not matching is also super obvious and is most likely laziness since they producers/editors don’t want to bother to actually hunt down proper stock footage.
Such as at the end of Midway (1976) where during the 1942 Battle of Midway for the ending showing an aircraft crashing on landing, they CLEARLY show a jet aircraft (which you can tell because it has no propeller) crashing onto said deck.
In another example in the 1970s TV series Black Sheep Squadron which is about the 1943 air battles over Guadalcanal and the famous titular Black Sheep Squadron flying F4U Corsairs against the Japanese, one episode had them landing their Corsairs on an aircraft carrier only for the stock footage to suddenly be them landing F6F Hellcats on the carrier instead, and it’s super obvious because the planes look completely different. What they couldn’t find actual color stock footage of a F4U Corsair landing on a carrier deck?
‘Baa Baa Black Sheep’ was made in the 70’s so you can assume a good chunk of the production budget turned into cocaine.
Watching True Detective: Season 3 get even the most basic facts about Hollywood’s go-to religion, Catholicism, wrong in a conversation between multiple Catholics is … in 2013… a crazy mistake.
You would think there is some pamphlet for screenwriters… So The Wardrobe Department Made Your Character a Catholic Priest… which has, say, the 20 most salient facts not to get wrong in the script. Like being confused about “prayer hands” 
. Or calling “Mass” “Service”, “Worship”, or “Congregating”. Etc, etc, etc.
They did make other efforts, though, except it still looks funny. I saw an episode in reruns a few years ago, when they were talking about a plan to send four aircraft on a mission.
Except it was obvious that everyone was saying “Five aircraft”, with the “five” overdubbed to “four”.
Because when it cuts to the stock footage, there were of course only four planes in the shot. So the scriptwriters messed up, but some editor caught it.
The camera was in the fifth aircraft. That wasn’t an error at all.
A newsreader in India was fired for referring to Chinese President Eleven Jinping.
That’s what Midwinter Christmas is for.
The only episode of Black Sheep Squadron I watched was the one where the Marines and the Army held a competition to determine who would shoot down Yamamoto.
There was apparently some trouble finding period footage of P-38s, because the Army jocks were all flying late-model Mustangs that weren’t in service in 1943.
I forget where I read about it, but someone playing Trivial Pursuit insisted the national airline of Israel is “E-One A-One.”
And this wasn’t a misprint like “Moops”!
Which is weird because I just watched a Black Sheep Squadron episode where two P-38 aces (loosely based on Richard Bong and McGuire) are attached to the BSS and they’re flying real life P-38s, they’re seeing landing on the runway and flying in formation with the Corsairs, so they had actual acess to P-38s at some point.
I wonder how many flyable P-38s are left in the world.
In the crossover episode of CSI and Without a Trace they showed a photo of Tucson, AZ. It has a PAC 12 university, a big Air Force Base, and a metropolitan population of 900,000 or so. The photo? Some rinky dink town of about 15 houses.
Interestingly - they were probably the only to flyable P-38s at the time, and they were different models (if you look close).
Always liked that episode, though.
