[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you sure they're pronouncing the "e" and not just imposing a nickname on her?[/quote] This. Everyone knows the 'e' is silent. They're just giving her a cutie nickname. If either of you don't like it, then correct them.[/quote] A generation of kids were taught to read without phonics and without phonics rules. A lot of them probably don’t know that the “e” is silent. Take it up with Lucy Caulkins. [/quote] THIS! It drives me insane. I am a Jacqueline who often gets called Jackie for no reason; even after I introduce myself as Jacqueline. But the highlight of my day is whenever I am called "JA-quellen", just like in the skit. Most recently it happened at a Chick-Fil-A by a teenager calling for my order...in Bethesda. Perfection.[/quote] My dd is Katherine and get called “Kathy” and it drives me insane. [/quote]
