paypals jaypals My Name Matters!
“D” after the name means the name doesn’t mean sh*t. The possessor is an idiot.
It’s coming, folks, it’s coming.
I’m going with Rep. Douchebag (D) India.
That this is even considered a “news” story is ridiculous. It feels more and more every day that I’m reliving junior high school.
As much as I would like to agree with the hate here, getting someone’s name pronounced correctly is kind of a big deal in terms of being polite and respectful.
The tone used on both sides was pretty shitty.
But if you are going to dump on someone, get their name right.
This was so childish.
Lesko should have ignored her.
Born in Madras (since renamed Chennai), India. Moved to America because India is a shithole country and then moved into the public sector as soon as she could. Spent the last 29 years mooching off the public while working to undermine the USA and jam open the door for the rest of the third world to follow in her footsteps. What an asset.
Diversity is their strength in the war against America.
My Italian last name has three vowels in a row in the middle.
Hasn’t been said correctly by anyone outside of friends and family since I can remember.
It makes me chuckle.
Don’t care. Doesn’t matter.
Well yes it does. When I have to spell it over the phone.
Even spoken slowly, people can’t seem to type three vowels in a row :)
"You know, do me a favor," an irritated Boxer said. "Could say 'senator' instead of 'ma'am?'"
"Yes, ma'am," Walsh interjected.
Exactly.
The then Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) didn’t like a Brigadier General calling her “ma’am” at an EPW hearing and insisted that he use the proper title: SENATOR.
To quote her: “Do me a favor,” she said, “could say ‘senator’ instead of ‘ma’am?’ It’s just a thing, I worked so hard to get that title, so I’d appreciate it, yes, thank you.”
These people are so full of themselves.
It’s not unusual for sports teams to include a pronunciation guide.
For example, a popular basketball player for St. John’s University:
God’sgift Achiuwa
last name pronounced ‘ah-CHOO-uh’
From a Christian family in Nigeria, with siblings named Grace, Peace, Promise, God’swill, and Precious. Not the best basketball player ever, but a member of the conference All-Academic squad and a terrific ambassador for the school, his country and Christianity.
There would appear to be no problem with Jayapal; as it’s pronounced the way it’s spelt, ‘Jaya-pal.’
The problem with Jayapal is that Indians say it with an Indian-English accent; whereas we who speak American-English don’t have that accent.
To us, Indian-English speakers pronounce many English words with an accent, which is neither right nor wrong.
For that matter, it takes a little getting used to speakers with a British-English accent. Again, it’s not a question of right or wrong.
But, of course, to Democrats, who are self-righteous and hyper-sensitive, who come to this country and stand in judgment of us, we Americans are supposed to so facile as to be able to perfectly imitate all accents.
They are ignorant and hateful people and the thought that they might gain total control of the federal government this fall is frightening.
A particularly ugly creature. Both inside and out.
Jayapal actually pronounced “b!tch with a capital ‘c’” ... all the letters are silent, you see.
She looks like an ugly version of Ravi Shankar.
A smarmy indignantly self-important effete neo-aristocracy.
Wow! What an eye-brow opening event for a (democrat party) national press story!
“Obviously” the evil-white-racist-republican hate-filled repubican cannot tolerate the nice friendly, eco-tolerant, non-violent black democrat woman of color - did I mention black democrat party woman of color? - who opposes the racist white hate-filled republican party hack!
(Never mind the illegal lies and blatant hypocrisy presented by the endless democrat speeches (concealed as questions) to Barr. Let us concentrate on how a racist-white republican says a Eco-tolerant black democrat woman-of-color name! )
She was showing her temper, funny that she denied any issues in Seattle, that it was totally peaceful. The Dems are deranged. Makes me even madder at wimp Paul Ryan for roadblocking Trump for two years and allowing these carnival idiots to intimidate him.
Pramela Paypal.... how hard is that
