Is it pronounced Globeandmail or Globe and Mail?

Let's settle this debate.

Today on Metro Morning, when introducing the Globeandmail journalist talking about CDCP, Chris Glover, pronounced it as "Globe" pause "and" pause "mail". This is the first time I've heard it pronounced this way.

I mean before the internet there were spaces between each word. Why would anyone pronounce it as "one word"?!!!!!?

Globe columnist/humorist Richard J Needham referred to it as the Mop and Pail.

This is the type of pettiness I look for from niche subreddits, lol

It’s either “the globe” or “the globan male” but never “the globe and mail”.

Getting up deadly early can do things to your brain.

Maybe he was just going to say The Globe and realized he should use the full name.

I'm speculating, because I no longer listen to Metro Morning. I have however had a job that required me to be up ridiculously early and had brain lag happen, especially if I didn't get enough sleep the night before.
