Speechless.

I was talking to a friend of mine who's a teacher recently and she's just started the school year. First day, she came across the name:
La-a
She tried to pronounce it LAH-ah but was soon corrected because the correct pronunciation is la-DASH-ah... so the hyphen is "a la phonetic" as my friend put it.
Seriously? La-a? I was speechless (which is very rare!).
