Minor rant: why why WHY is it that it is ALWAYS the callers with the unpronounceable names that get butthurt when we ask them for the spelling?
I am a fellow haver of a hard to spell name, and I am USED to people asking me how to spell it. How do you make it to full maturity, with a name like “Ghlytmynapzk”, and still get annoyed when someone asks you to,
a) repeat that
and
b) spell it out
Mrs Smith, otoh, introduces herself by saying ‘that’s S sam M michael I indian…’ – yes, we know how to spell smith, fine.
Mr. Ten Consonants and a Single Vowel huffs and sighs and imbues the spelling of his name with a dripping disdain that implies you are the first person to EVER have a hard time spelling ‘Fxxxxblrgwhiloweitzku’.
