[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you sure you always pronounce everybody's name correctly? Do you have an accent?

See here is the thing... I don't mind that most my Asian coworkers can't pronounce my name.

Jennifer.... Jenefu, no Jennifer, Jenefu, no Jennifer

Do you see how obnoxious I would sound if I corrected them all the time, I know they mean nothing by the mispronunciation, but when I hear them complain that others can't pronounce their name, I think REALLY. You have to be kidding me.

You should just make sure you don't live in a glass house before you throw a stone.  [/quote]

First off, this is about spelling, not pronunciation. There are a million ways the coworker could check the spelling before he sends a message out. Lots of words are hard to spell. No excuse. 
Secondly, anyone who doesn't take the correction and try to learn how to pronounce someone's name correctly is being incredibly rude. If there's a sound that is hard to make for people who come from a specific background, I can understand, but they still need to make the effort. [/quote]

I disagree, I think people need to get over it.

Haha... check spelling before emails... emails!!! No, I want productivity not perfection.[/quote]
