THIS is braking news these days?

What a circus in DC.

I had a problem with a UPS shipment. Ended up with Customer Service and no resolution, so I asked the worker for her name, in the event I had to continue the process.

It had at least 4 apostrophes! I cannot recall it, but I made her repeat the *spelling* a few times to make sure I got it right.

I don’t know what those mothers are thinking. I know it’s about coming up with something unique, but there should be limits.

>>Hasn’t been said correctly by anyone outside of friends and family since I can remember.

Same. Even among coworkers

But if you are going to dump on someone, get their name right.

I agree and I don’t know if the Rep. was deliberately mispronouncing the name or not. I have a last name that people who have known me for years, mispronounce—and it’s only two syllables, each easily pronounceable. It doesn’t bother me a bit.

But some on the left go out of their way to mispronounce Rush Limbaugh’s name—usually going for ‘Lim-bow’. This isn’t ignorance, this is a lame attempt to belittle.
