[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You might have been at the same graduation. I also noticed that about the AAPI graduates and no effort being made to pronounce the names correctly and the lack of recognition of National Merit Semifinalists/Finalists and Presidential Scholar Finalists and even musical achievements. It seemed purposely planned not to have recognition of AAPI graduates which was upsetting.[/quote] I don't think it is reasonable to expect teachers and administrators to be able to pronounce all these unusual names. [/quote] Yes it is reasonable to expect the person reading names at graduations to get it right. If you were moderating a panel or introducing a speaker and you didn’t know how to pronounce a name, I assume you would check first and write it down phonetically in your notes so you didn’t look like an ass [/quote]
