[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My name is Margaret. Most Asian people say Maw-gwet My coworker is Veronica they call her wonica I’d say let it go, I do.[/quote] I think people get a pass when they actually can’t pronounce certain letters. Like Asians and R. A Spanish coworker got really frustrated that no one would say his name right, mostly because we weren’t rolling the R. Very few English people can roll their R’s. Similar to Raul. Some names just aren’t familiar and have tough pronunciations. Like Thierry or Siobhan. Those are the ones that people can be trained to say right. [/quote] This is clearly true for OP. And the person who mispronounces mjhfgylllll ghrdflllll Everybody needs to grown up and stop getting offended that people can’t pronounce names.[/quote]
