Despite the pronunciation of Agave, this video was very informative. Thank you!

[@kennyortega9941]

😂 I didn’t know until like 3rd plant in that she was saying it wrong

[@marykaswaka9393]

Nice video thank

[@gilbermamani3040]

Never heard Agave pronounced like in this video. I also assume computer generated voice

[@TheMuerdago]

Agree with the previous comment.
The, I'm assuming computerized, voice over, is truly distracting and EXTREMELY ANNOYING!!! 🤬

[@kennyortega9941]

I couldn’t help but laugh 🤣

[@kristenbattafarano8252]

AH- GA- VAY. Can't even listen.

[@Thomasroddick]

Not that you couldn’t tell from the other comments, but you are butchering that pronunciation of agave.

[@jeanettecooper1582]

Pronounced Ah-gah-vey

[@mkk1600]

At least say Agave correctly 😂

[@robinchubak7747]

People might pay more attention to you if you learn how to pronounce the names of plants correctly.

Was this video made to see how many times the AI narrative can mispronounce AGAVE? It was torturous to listen to! Cringeworthy! Like fingernails on a chalkboard! Next time I see anything produced by Brainy Gardener, I’m skipping it completely! They should hire a HUMAN narrator to pronounce Ah-gah-vay correctly instead of torturing viewers with Ah-gave every 2 seconds!
