[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My job involves talking on the phone to parents. a lot of people pronounce their son's name as Benjermin, but it is spelled Benjamin. I used to clarify there was no 'r', they acted like I was an idiot. They would even respond with, "It is Benjermin." Now I spell it back as Benjamin, no one has added the r. It is [b]generally lower income, no post high school education, black families[/b]. (Yes I know the income, education, & race because it is asked during intake.)[/quote] OP here I know my post can come off like I'm making fun of these families but the puzzling thing to me is that this family is not any of these things. I was trying to figure out if this was some foreign variation of Benjamin. Okay, I can see how a parent could allow a kid to spell their name however they like. Thanks everyone. [/quote]
