Help[Opinions] Re: Viktorya?
in reply to a message by Less Lee
no offence..but Viktorya is just a really annouyingly version of Victoria, it may look unique or artsy or different but to me it's just a pain in the butt to spell correctly.

So . . .
So all of those other non-English cultures out there are just "annouying" and are just an attempt to look "unique or artsy" rather than based in long tradition and cultural separation? Saoirse is just an attempt to look creative? Elizaveta is a demand for uniqueness? Johann is a blatant dressing-up of John? Sylwia is just some pain-in-the-butt parent's pretence at cleverness?
Did you even READ Less Lee's post?
Viktorya is clearly a legitimate Northern European variation of Victoria, and it's extremely arrogant and Anglocentric to suggest that any spelling except Victoria is not legitimate.

No . . .
What she said was this:
"no offence..but Viktorya is just a really annouyingly version of Victoria, it may look unique or artsy or different but to me it's just a pain in the butt to spell correctly."
She paid no attention to the fact that the Viktorya spelling was after a specific person with a different ethnicity, and suggested that the spelling was merely an attempt to look cool rather than a legitimate variation.

Out of curiousity...
...did you read her post fully?
I also find it kind of silly when someone says 'no offence' and then proceeds to say something that most people would find offensive if directed at them. It's pointless to preface a comment with the 'no offence' if offence will likely be taken. If you're worried, maybe think of a nicer way to say it?

Word.
I agree; I strongly dislike when people qualify their opinions. If you think there's something wrong with it, there probably is. I also have a great disdain for when people say things like, "trust me, I wasn't born yesterday" as if age were an issue or that person should be considered any more trustworthy than the next.
OT, sorry!
Wit has truth in it; wisecracking is simply calisthenics with words.

Agreed. I've met many the person who was completely immature and many years my senior. That phrase annoys me.
No worries about the OT... my whole brain is OT.
