Just a little pet peeve of mine...
Oct. 23rd, 2007 11:20 amTook a call from a woman yesterday who spelled her name "Sasha" but pronounced "Say-sha."
WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS?!@!$ I worked with a guy a few years ago who spelled his name "Michael" but insisted it was supposed to be "Mih-KELL." I wonder if the parents are the ones who initiated that pronunciation or whether the person started doing that later in life to be more distinctive or whatever.
Either way, it's annoying.
