Thou "Naif"Reader comment on: Fox News Iowa Debate Submitted by MacReady (United States), Dec 17, 2011 20:11 She clearly said "fools and knaves." Of course "knaves" makes no contextual sense, which means Bachmann does not know the correct pronunciation. Knave: an apprentice or male domestic worker. Nave: the central area of a cathedral. Naifs: plural noun variant of naive; pronounced nigh-ayfs (two syllables). As a presidential candidate (and attorney) apparently trying to project intelligence, she shouldn't use a word if she doesn't know how to pronounce it.
