HelpRe: How do you feel about Mirah?
in reply to a message by -=A=-
Let me start off by saying that I'm not trying to offend you, or pick a fight. I am giving you the benefit of the doubt, by which logic I must assume that you are unaware of the fact that you appear a little racist of late. Let me clarify:
1. MEER-uh - "What a lowly pronunciation." This would be the Spanish pronunciation. Mira is a conjugated form of the spanish verb, "mirar," which means "to look," a lovely meaning, and a lovely pronunciation. I much prefer it to Myra, and when I lauded your choice of Mira in an earlier post, I was pronouncing it like the Spanish word. You must not have realized that you were insulting the Spanish pronunciation of a Spanish word when you said this.
2. Mateo - "Too Latin for my tastes." Now, I'm assuming you meant the dead language and the family of languages drawing heavy influence from it. However, you are building an ugly track record, and you might wish to be careful of implying disdain for Spanish and Latin American names (and cultures) if you want to avoid censure on the board.
Again, let me reiterate: I am not attacking you, I'm just pointing out possible interpretations that I am sure you did not intend.
