Help[Opinions] Re: Enrichetta
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
The pronunciation is okay, actually; it's better than Henrietta.
But unless you're in Italy or speaking Italian, the spelling is unfortunate and calls to mind nutritional drinks, like Ensure. I think there actually is one called Enrich? And Enrichetta just looks like the junior version of that.
Enriqueta would work a bit better.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
