The Language Barrier
No problems...we all speak English, right? There is a CT tech at work named "Kah-Lee." (Kah-rhymes with "paw" and Lee like Lee.) The first few times I called, I said, "I want to say your name right -- Is it 'Kah-Lee' like 'Carly' or like 'Cally'?" (In my American accent.) Kah-Lee replies, "Oh, yea, it's like 'KAAAAHHH-LEEEEEE'." Oh. So I still call her "Kah-Lee." I have no idea if I'm saying "Carly" or "Cally" but it sounds just like what she calls herself.

Wow. So you're probably affecting an accent, but there's no way to know. Sounds like time for a wacky elaborate scheme involving a surprise party, all just so you can get her to sign a card, so you can read her name.
ReplyDeleteMust think of a good sitcom name...
