    Customers of mine mispronounce my name all the time, doesn't bother me in the least, I certainly don't think they are being at all impolite, disrespectful, or lacking in manners, just a simple mistake that's all, we all make'm, no biggie.

      I get your point, but I doubt your customers are professional pundits broadcasting to millions of people on your behalf.

        So it is you that's offended then, not the owner of the name?

            It offends me they aren't bothered to find out, and judging by YouTube videos of certain sports stars doing a step by step guide on the simplicity of their name, I suppose they find it irritating/bemusing or however you want to name it.

            • As an ESL teacher it's interesting to me how you Brits use "just about" Joe Johnson just said "the ball just about wriggled in" In American English that means it didn't wriggle in. It means that it almost happened, but didn't. In Canada or the US we would say "the ball barely wriggled in" as in it happened, but almost didn't.

                No, biting his nails on his chair a few minutes ago too.

                  Indeed. Gets a chance now though...

                  Edit....and it's gone.

                  C'mon Cao keep positive!

                      Love it when people do that; it's the one thing that will fire me up and I'm sure it does most people!

                        Indeed...

                        Still a 2 frame buffer but Cao really needs to get his focus and concentration back.

                        • Cao Yupeng pronounced correctly sounds a little like you are complaining to a stinking cow.

                          I'm still a little unhappy that Kritsanut Lertsattayathorn didn't make more of an impact on the game, as I'd like to hear commentators spitting and stuttering as they try to pronounce his name.
