[02:51] The Magic Of Being Called Kynan
Date: 9/9/05 at 10:51AM
I get this a LOT but recently a large number of people have had reason to e-mail me. An e-mail was sent listing me as the contact like this:
"Please contact kynan.dent@blahblahblah". I have so far received the following exciting permutations of my name:
- Kenan
- Keenan
- Kenean
- Kyan
- Kyiran (I think this is my favourite)
- Kynana
- Kyran
- Kent??!?
Normally I am very forgiving of people and their attempts to get my name right, I've been called Ceinwen, Cyan, Conan and someone once went so far as so say "look, Kynans' too hard to say, I'm going to call you Simon" and I let them get away with it - English phonetics are painfully incomprehensible to a lot of people;
however, if you have to write/type the name as part of the e-mail address, or even if you just copied and pasted it, SURELY your eyes passed over the letters....how can they still sod it up so badly. These aren't even typos, r and n are nowhere near each other (unless these people are morbidly obese and require special dialing wands to type or something).
