Local Man Discovers He's Been Pronouncing 'Malta' Wrong His Entire Life, Still Thinks He's Better Than You

AITA for laughing when my coworker, let's call him "Brad," proudly announced he finally visited "Mal-TUH" (he means Malta) and spent the whole vacation complaining the wine wasn't as good as the stuff his stepdad bought in Tuscany? Apparently, he went to a "bomb-ass" bakery in Valletta, ate three pastizzi, and then had the galaxy brain take that the "island feels too small, like a theme park without rollercoasters." TL;DR: Brad paid $1,500 for a flight to act superior about a place he can't correctly name, and I'm supposed to feel bad. Congrats, you discovered European Florida but with more roundabouts. Next up: he'll 'um, actually' us on how to say 'Ħal Qormi.'
