Tomato, Tomahto; Dee-Santis, Deh-Santis [Ron let his wife tell him how to say last name]
Tampa Bay Times ^

We asked DeSantis campaign Communications Director Stephen Lawson to straighten out the Dee/Deh conundrum. It had become the source of debate in our newsroom.

"It's also been a little controversial for us on the campaign trail," Lawson confessed. "He uses Dee-Santis."

But Casey Dee-Santis, seems to use Deh-Santis, right?

Pause.

"Yes," Lawson allowed. And added, "He prefers Dee-Santis."

Whoa. So this is a giant source of great friction between Mr. Dee-Santis and Mrs. Deh-Santis, then?

"I wouldn't go that far," Lawson deadpanned.

The mystery lingers.

“How humiliating!”

More humiliating is knowing your husband steps out at night ...

Don’t project your own experience onto others.

Rhonda Santis is a cuck. Apparently that being exposed hurts your feelings.

You may want to hold fire there boss. I hope he is wrong, however Attorney Robert Barnes has stated the New York Times is holding onto some spicey photos of DeSantis.

You are going back and looking for articles about the pronunciation of someone's name from years ago and posting them as a major issue, and say someone else should be humiliated?

The pronunciation of the family name is usually handed down.

My first college work study job was handing out IDs. I allegedly mangled quite a few last names.

Consider the last name of James Levine, the former music director of the Metropolitan Opera. I was told that he does not use the pronunciation of ‘Levine’ I learned to use in upstate New York State.

As for my French pronunciation, I should not expect anybody to excuse it.

How stupid and petty. Foreign last names can be pronounced differently within a family and no one cares. No one did with our Italian surname anyway. Along with the vowel durations, accenting the first and second syllables was also up for grabs.
