Help[Opinions] Re: Do you think a pronunciation of a name can be "enforced"?
in reply to a message by BeccyLeader2
I think you would have only limited success getting people to say a name a different way than it's pronounced by every other person with that name in the area/in their acquaintance. And it would get to be a nuisance to have to keep doing it for every. single. person. you. meet. Never mind all the ones you see more regularly who still slip up.
And unless you have a foreign-to-the-average-person-in-the-region accent, you may well be seen as being pretentious or showing off.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
