The other day, I made a call to our MIS team to activate one of the network ports we'll be using for one of our test machines. I gave my name, which I pronounced as "nina" (no enye).
I have been using "nina", instead of "ninya", in the office because explaining spelling, pronunciation, and Philippine-Spanish history is just a pain in the ass most of the time.
Anyway, going back to my story...
The bitch inside my head: WTF??? Odd??? Seriously now?!
But seriously, how odd is n-i-n-a? Even someone with dyslexia can spell it without difficulty!
I've never heard anyone complain about "Mr. Snuffleupagus", (and it's about time someone did!) and here comes some guy telling me a 4-letter word with letters harmoniously sitting next to each other is odd?!
Where's the justice in this world?! Where's the love?! And more importantly, where is Mr. Snuffleupagus?!
who you callin' odd 'ya bitch!
