Say What?!

Heads up! This post will only be dealing with the name I am most known with.

================

I'm one of those who make a big deal about names,how it is spelled and how it is pronounced.
So you can just imagine my horror every time my name is misspelled and more so if it's mispronounced which by the way happens every so often! I have no inkling on why some people don't get it.I mean how could they not spell it right? I provided them the spelling in the first place. And how could they not pronounce it right either when my name's not complicated,it's even a one-syllable name! Tsk.

My name is LENG and you just have to pronounce it the same way it is spelled. No silent consonants as that of J,H or what have you,no umlaut,just plain and simple Leng. I don't know why you don't get it! I think about my name scribbled on coffee cups,printed in receipts and I can only shake my head. I think about my name pronounced as Lyn,Ling,Len,Li,Le and all the variations from L-E-N-G that you could think of and I can only cringe.

I don't know how this will stop.I don't think this will ever stop. I still have the rest of the world to meet and greet I am definitely sure someone else will commit the same mistake again.

That is why no matter how big a deal this is for me I just don't make a fuss out of it. Big deal na dili May sense ba? HAHA. Seriously, as much as I want to have it spelled and pronounced correctly some people just can't do it. So I'll just have to deal with it nicely.I can even joke about it.You know what they always say, don't sweat the small stuff.I will just have to make sure that I don't do the same thing to other people because I know how it feels.It sucks.
