Pronounce "Le - A," I Dare You.

This email from a good friend made my day. Then...it made me sad:

So...it's pronounced 'Ledasha.' Oh yes...you read it right.

THE DASH IS NOT SILENT.

This child attends a school in Livingston Parish. (Louisiana) Her mother is irate because everyone is getting her daughter's name wrong. When the mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said 'the dash don't be silent.'

SO, if you see something like this come across your desk, please remember to pronounce the dash.


I just don't understand. I just don't get it. How do we know when creativity has gone too damn far?
