The Dean Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 It I were governor or New York she would be the first person that I fired. Well, if the way one pronounces their own name is a criterion you would use to fire someone, I guess it's a good thing you aren't Governor.

DC Tom Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 And here I thought I was the only one that worried about this. One more, and we can form a support group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrFishfinder Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 And here I thought I was the only one that worried about this. One more, and we can form a support group. Here in My Yami, latinos pronounce my wife's name (Jill), "Yill". A person I do business with is named Yaisy, which she pronounces, "Jaisy". And in Sweden, V is pronounced like W and W is pronounced like V. So Volkswagen is pronounced Wolksvagen. We're gonna need a lot more support groups.

The "English" speaking people I used to work with in the restaurants called me Jimbo. A hispanic tried it once and it came out Yimblows. I don't know, maybe he called me that on purpose.

bbb Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I don't like the self-importance thing, either.....but it seems to have kept her in a job for all these years, so I guess the more power to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Latin languages have different stress points than English. She isn't saying it wrong, you just don't like her name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, maybe he called me that on purpose. I gave up. If I go to pick up a prescription for her, I say "Prescription for Yill." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a very passionate people and many wear their emotions on their sleeves. Just like several other cultures. Great people and drop-dead gorgeous women.

My brother-in-law's wife is from Mexico... Wow.. What a culture clash... Now mix in that my brother-in-law and his family live in Taiwan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
