[Opinions] Re: Bad pronunciations/ spellings you've sighted?
I'm sure someone's mentioned about Maya already, but that's how I'd say it... I can see it being MAY-a, but that wouldn't be the assumed pronunciation in the US (which seems like you're not based on your pronunciation of Xalia). :) I think either way makes sense. I mean, that's how you'd say it in "Mayan."My husband worked at an inner-city type school for a few years, and there were a lot of these sort of things. The only one I can think of right now is he had a student named Tatiana, but it was spelled Tytania or something like that.
