There is a writing prompt on Hinge to help people understand how to pronounce your name. For instance, Helena can be pronounced many different ways:
HEH-leh-na (German, Czech), heh-LEH-na (German), heh-LEH-nah (Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish), kheh-LEH-na (Polish), HEH-leh-nah (Finnish), HEHL-ə-nə (English), hə-LEEN-ə (English)
In the history of vocalized speech, I sincerely doubt that anybody has ever mispronounced Val. So, this means that this woman either:
- Thinks she’s being funny – she’s not.
- Thinks people are stupid – we’re not.
- Is wasting my time – she is.
Now normally I wouldn’t post somebody’s actual name, but unless you are Val or know a Val who thinks you don’t know how to pronounce their name, then this shouldn’t bother you.
