Please stop spelling your name on the phone unless the line is bad. It's like double spacing after a period. It REEKS of not keeping up with the times.

I have a name that many people ask me to spell.

by Anonymousreply 3August 10, 2020 11:21 PM

Depends, OP.

by Anonymousreply 4August 10, 2020 11:22 PM

PS i always double-space, except when triple-spacing, or quintuple-spacing

Find “ “

Replace with “ “

I have a weird name and nobody can spell it, especially over the phone. They think S is F, and they add a bunch of L’s for no reason. There are no L’s in my name and it doesn’t sound like there are either. People just randomly throw them in.

Should I just let stupid people wonder why they can never find my reservation or appointment?

R5 sure takes up a lot of space.

and pray tell just who is the arbiter of "keeping up with the times"?

Easy for you to say, you controlling shit, OP. My name doesn't appear on the screen of people I call, and I have had a terrible life of errors from turdy gripes such as you.

From my experience, which is substantial, the only people who spell their names are ones which are frequently asked to spell them. The spelling of my name is unusual, so rather than waste my time waiting for the imbecile on the phone go through a dozen iterations, I spell it; it’s what most normal people would do. Which probably leaves OP out.

In spelling. it's interesting to hear what people from different regions use as phonetic examples. A lot of Midwesterners use common names ("B as in Bob, A as in Apple, T as in Tom"), whereas UK spellers use completely different references.

Poor OP. He sounds so stupid on the phone that people automatically assume he won't be able to spell the simplest of names
