Oh help me, please doctor, I'm damaged

Hey, Megs,

I just saw this on Deadspin and I had to share it here:




I could barely stifle my laughter here at work. That's just funny stuff.

But not quite as funny as this.

I got a call from Evan this morning. After we exchanged "Hello"s, he told me to write the following: Lea-h.

"How would you pronounce that?" he asked. "Leah," I responded (as you do).

"Le-dash-uh," he said, "because the dash ain't quiet."

I guffawed (as you do), but this is an actual person. He met Lea-h yesterday at the Arts Center. She came into the shop to purchase a gift and when she wrote her name he asked, "Is that Leah? I've never seen it spelled that way." That's when she corrected the pronunciation, using the exact words as he did to correct mine. "The dash ain't quiet."

You just can't make that up.

I hope all's well!

love, molly
