My point, though, is that it's one little sound. Not something like "
Cynthia" rather than "
Cindy" or pronouncing
Aisling the correct way as ASH-lyn instead of the way that most Americans would initially think, AYZ-lin. I really think I'd find it impossible to say "LES-lie" rather than "LEZ-lie" on a regular basis. It's like trying to "correct" an accent.
