They deducted from his score because he mispronounced onomatopoeia? wtf

Adding, removing, or rearranging sounds/syllables, as well as changing consonant sounds (which is what he did here), will result in a response being judged as incorrect, as these are considered significant changes to the word itself. Different stressings of the syllables or variations of vowel sounds are okay.

Listen close enough and Roger corrects Alex saying "77" at :14-:15

I loved Tom's reaction when they changed Roger's score. You could tell he was just thinking, "like it makes a difference".

I didn't hear him say the word, but I always thought it was pronounced ona monna pee a. It's onamatopoeia? Really? Who knew...
