Re: We talk about the slaughter of spellings, what about pronunciations?
in reply to a message by Ceridwen
I almost never meet people who pronounce my name right the first time, as they usually say bree-AWN-uh instead of bree-ann-uh. It used to really bother me when I was younger, but now I don't mind. In fact, I think that pronunciation sounds prettier, and anyway if it wasn't my own name I'm sure that's how I'd pronounce it too.
I do also constantly have adults look at my name in writing and then call me Brittany. I mean, does it really take that much time to read more than just the first three letters? I don't even like the name Brittany.
Other than that, though, I don't really have any problems with pronunciations.
