So funny how the 'You're in America, speak English' crowd can't even pronounce Zohran's name even though it's literally pronounced like it's spelled (hexbear.net)

When English is your only language and you can't even get that right, maybe who's running for mayor shouldn't be your biggest concern. Try mastering your ABCs first and then we can move beyond sesame street level issues.

Oh I see. Yeah it is kind of amazing how even people who don't explicitly mean anything negative say things like "Mandamni" and such. I think there is a general carelessness in not learning names beyond what a person internalized before age 10. I have tried to get people to just say one or two syllable names correctly, simple phonetic ones, and they fail over and over again.

It's usually older people and I do honestly wonder if it is lead exposure.
