Pro-NUN-ciation
My friend was telling me about what happened to her at a recent parent/teacher conference. The teacher was calling the students’ name: Le-a (She pronounced it “Leah”, just like it looks like it should sound…)
But after the mom got up in the teacher’s face, my friend quickly realized that it was NOT the correct pronunciation of her child’s name…
Le-a is pronounced LeDASHa… as in, the dash is NOT silent!
Wow…
