[Opinions] Re: To pronounce a name the way you want - disrespectful?
in reply to a message by Caprice
I think the intent behind the mispronunciation is the important part, not the mispronunciation itself. If you aren't familiar with how to read a name and you use your sound system, I don't think it's disrespectful. If you've only heard a name and are guessing at how to spell it, you aren't being disrespectful. If you've been told by that parents that it's said one way, but refuse to change how you say it, then you're being disrespectful.
