Stupid people tricks.

I got a call from a young man with a thick Irish brogue today. He scored points for having said thick, Irish brogue.

He promptly lost them by telling me that I'm pronouncing my first name incorrectly. Irked, I snippily informed him that no, I bloody well wasn't.

"Ah, lass, but ye see, I know ye are - yer name's Irish!" he crowed.

Deadpan, my response was, "No, it's Welsh. It's spelled with eleven letters and contains two L's and a Y."

And then there was a tragic accident with the handset and oops, I hung up on him.

The discussion in my family is that if the Welsh hadn't screwed around and wandered in last, they would have gotten vowels and would not have to make due with Ys and Ws.

We have a Bronwyn and two Maeves in the family.

There's no L in Peregrine!
