BTW, my best friend is Lea, and it's pronounced like Leah, so she gets SO MANY people misspelling it or pronouncing it like "lee" or like Princess Leia (that's not that bad, right? lol). I hate when people don't spell or pronounce a person's name correctly, once being corrected on how to say it or spell it. ESPECIALLY when it's in respond to an email or letter where the person has written their name in the signature, or header. Or even their email name. It's SO SO SOOOO disrespectful, and showing the person that they don't care enough to remember something VITAL to that person: their fucking name. I tend to guess/ask the spelling of a person I meet - just yesterday, I did a CPR class, and my partner was named "Mimi" so, I replied, "is that the usual 'm-i-m-i"? and it wasn't! It's Miemie. So, do you say Jodie-Leah? Or Jodie-Lee?

I used to get Jaime a lot. PISSED me off. Now everyone is Jamie, I don't know where they were before...lol. But I had a friend Carolyn and a friend Fayha. Teachers would constantly say "Caro-line" instead of "Carol-in", and Fayha would get Faya a lot, but the H is not silent in her name "fay-ha". And Whenever that teacher said it wrong, I would just call out the correct pronunciation. I'm sure everyone looooved that.

OMG, I did it again Now you have even MORE to read from me.
