[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some PPs are mixing up the name and the adjective Dottie - a generally accepted nickname for Dorothy or Dorothea Dotty - another word for crazy, ditzy, looney, etc.[/quote] They are pronounced the same way though. Expect people to fall on the ground laughing when the person says "I'm Dottie". Same thing with the names Fanny and Dick. Don't do it. [/quote] Huh? What are you talking about? Americans don’t use the word dotty and certainly wouldn’t fall on the ground laughing because they don’t even know it means crazy. Are you thinking of batty, maybe? Still very British, but most Americans are familiar with it. [/quote]
