"James nice to meet you. Can I call you Jim?" You'll be only person who does and I won't answer.
But then my son hates being called Joseph not Joe.
At parents Evening one of his teachers corrected my pronunciation of my own surname.....which is fair enough if you actually speak Goth but I doubt she does.
On the flipside, I can’t truly pronounce my surname. It’s been flattened and anglicised by me as much as anyone. But when I hear it pronounced correctly, I feel like saying “that’s it that’s my name!”.
