Do you think they should stay in a hostile work environment dealing with reform policies they disagree with but have no power to change? If you get why they are leaving, what else is there for them to do? It's not a protest, it's people choosing to leave jobs they are no longer happy doing under the circumstances forced upon them.
Right to the eyeballs
Ok, Zf. Cat :) If that makes you feel comfortable it costs me nothing to be considerate of your preference. See?
I've heard it both ways. I'm sure no one would be offended either way you say it.
11+ years here. Deleted and haven't looked back. I miss my crafting and witchy communities but I don't regret leaving.
You should be asking yourself why you assume the person would react angrily instead of just politely correcting the pronunciation. If someone accidentally mispronounces my name I gently correct them, while smiling, and I have never once been offended or take it personally. You also assume it is a heavy burden on others to simply call people what they'd like to be called. When it is not. Being angry over this is not a healthy attitude. It's simple manners to be considerate of others and that is precisely what the person is asking for, nothing more.
I don't remember writing that anyone was hateful. Actively trying to be offended, yes. Legitimate questions ask questions like this "So how is Mx pronounced?". The comment was I replied to intended to mock it, not ask in good faith. But see, you'd have to come to that conclusion by using common sense, so here we are again.
Wow, those two letters really shook you. Deep breaths.
Well see, common sense would have me ask "hm, how do I say that?" then google it, then when I see that it's simply pronounced "mix" I'd say "oh, okay". And then go on about my day... instead of ranting about how hard it is to figure out and how angry it should make everyone. But that's just me.
Like "mix". It's fairly simple to most people who have common sense and aren't actively trying to be offended over nothing.
Like a spoiled child trying to evade consequences.
