QotD: Repeat After Me...
How have people mispronounced your name? How is it supposed to sound?

OMG. THIS QUESTION WAS MADE TO BE ANSWERED BY ME.
My name is Tamisa, pronounced Ta-mee-sa. Here are the following ways it has been pronounced:
Ta-mee-sha. The most popular form of butchering my name, most commonly experienced with substitute teachers. HelLO, where did you get the extra H from?? I don't have invisible letters in my name!!
Tam-eh-sa, with the first syllable really long and the last two sped up. Once again most commonly experienced with substitute teachers, but I can sort of understand this one. At least they don't add an extra invisible letter.
Teresa. Tamika. Tanisa. Tanisha. Now this is just people who can't read properly.
Lousy day. Started out pretty well, but ended up spiraling down after 10. Became feeling rather lousy for disappointing my piano teacher so much.
Also testing this cross posting from Vox to LJ thing...

I take piano too! Just easy stuff. I just started lessons again after fifteen years. whoa! but I love playing music. It soothes the soul. Play with joy and you won't disappoint your teacher or yourself. :)
