Yep - I live in Gautier “Go-shay” MS and my car tells me it’s “Goat-ee-ay”

[SkyDancer]

Just spiffy - thanks for asking.

[Vinnie]

I’m offended my GPS mispronounces my street name.

[okie 54]

If they would quit naming their children they cannot even pronounce themselves it would be easier for the child in years to ocme

[kosciusko51]

Well, people in MS do not pronounce Kosciusko correctly...

[MayflowerMadam]

Or “Watermelondrea”.

[Crucial]

I think I would have been amused. Machines can’t be racist. Not every offensive phrase or action is intentional and or full of malice. That said they do need to fix the problem.

[King Moonracer]

Nicarri, is that the proper plural form? Or an adjective?

[wardaddy]

Blacks used to use regular names

Then they became mistaken they being animist descended where really Islamic descended

The Roots another lie showed up and the silly ill pronounced names started in earnest

When I grew up

Black men were not much differently named than whites

Except Leroy and Tyrone and Julius and Moses

Black women were frequently Hannah or Sally

My middle son is friends with a black doctors boy and he’s a IV

he’s upstairs asleep with two others here now

Jocks all

I think they played Madden all night

I need to roust them

I honestly don’t care what folks want to be called

My grandson is Wolf and it’s grown on me

But it needs to spell fairly phonetically

Otherwise it might as well be Polish

[trebb]

True - my Polish heritage gives me a step up on the average, home-grown, Mississippian. Many visitors/transplants (like me) down here have trouble with Tchoutacabouffa too....

Kool, just had not seen any Posts from You lately. You’re Welcome. stay Safe.

[SkyDancer]

Well sometimes my flight schedule keeps me busy but I try to keep up with things here since it’s my social network; I don’t do FB (I refuse to even say or write their name).

[mabarker1]

I understand completely but if I go POOF here that probably means I'm back in the Hospital if it's more than a few days.

Who is FB😉

[SkyDancer]

FB is a huge social network that decides what is and what is not allowed to be posted. That said this is within their definition of being acceptable posts:

Which is why FB is dead to me and I won't even print or say their name.

[mabarker1]

OMG!!!

THAT IS: OFFENSIVE, SICK, RUDE, DISGUSTING, DISPICABLE, WRONG AND I’M NOW AT A LOSS FOR WORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SkyDancer]

I was screaming at her for doing that to him - that child will be traumatized for life over that. If I lived nearby I would have taken him to my home and let her fight CPS to get him back.

[Oztrich Boy]

Stewart’s daughter is named Nicarri. Stewart told WHAM TV the message clearly began, “This is Edison Career and Technology High School. Your daughter, N****r, has missed period one on…”

OK This is just funny

[xrmusn]

Maybe if you gave your children names that didn’t come with diction lessons...

Oh..I forgot we don’t do diction any more.

Remember the case a couple of years ago where people were dying from Ebola and the Americans involved all had some sort of weird or unconventional names while a patient from Liberia died and his name was Thomas Eric Duncan; born in Monrovia Liberia in 1969.

AND ‘they’ are the backward 3rd world nations....
