[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a different problem. The way I have pronounced my sirname my whole life is not how people in the area I have moved to pronounce it. So I have to say it differently when I introduce myself. Not a big deal. [/quote] I run into this with my first name. Americans always think I need them to tell me how it's [i]really[/i] pronounced. My last name is a reasonably common British name, but seems to be challenging for almost everyone, so I end up explaining my names A LOT. I only mind when it's because of obnoxious ignorance about my first name.[/quote]
