@petrillic I can absolutely say it, and do. I just had zero clue that it was pronounced as it is before I heard it aloud. As someone whose languages understood does not include pronouncing "nc" as "sh", I don't think I can be blamed for that.

@mos_8502 i think it’s more “you can learn how to pronounce names”.

@petrillic My experience has been that no matter how much you want to treat people with the respect they are due, and no matter how much effort you put into it, a very loud squad of social media assholes will criticize you for not doing everything exactly the way they want today. This is a prime example of the sort of thing that bunch latch onto. Not you, obviously, but they exist and annoy the piss out of me.

@mos_8502 absolutely. As someone whose name has been mutilated my entire life, I understand. Some people are, unfortunately , just scolds.
