lliteracy in our schools






How would you pronounce this child's name?


She spells her name "Le-a"

So how would YOU pronounce her name?

Leah? ......................NO.
Lee - A? .................. NOPE.
Lay - a? ............ NOT A CHANCE.
Lei?...........NICE TRY, BUT GUESS AGAIN!




This child attends a school in censored

Her mother is irate because everyone is getting her child's name wrong.

She says it's pronounced "Ledasha."

When the Mother was asked how in the world she figured

it should be pronounced that way, she said,

"cause the dash don't be silent!"

So, if you see a name come across your desk like this,

please remember to pronounce the dash.

And if anyone axes you why, tell them it's 'cause the dash don't be silent!

Someone... pleeeeze, pleeeze tell me dis don't bes true!

Surely, someone bes jokin' wid us?!?!


They live among us, they vote, and they breed.

 

Soooo can we expect to see a kid named after our former secretary of state ..... : Powell ? How about s&y or r&y for sandy and randy?

 

I think you need to stick with your day job..
