HelpRe: Is Ayn too connected to Rand?
in reply to a message by Pelops
My point though, is that someone in the US who had an audience, at some point, must have guessed the pronunciation wrong as "Ann," or said it in a way that sounded like "Ann," and it DID spread, because I've heard more than one person say "Ann" Rand. So it's not just ignorant stupids who think it's "Ann" - it's people who've heard other people saying it that way.
Yeah, it doesn't make sense, but I think it really happened.

Well, yeah. There's a lot of people who say it wrong. I used to say it like that, because of how others said it, and I would always get annoyed that she would alter the spelling to something that didn't make any sense. But we have the internet now. You can just whip out your phone if the Ayn confuses you. You gotta stay willfully ignorant to keep saying "Ann." It's just... the wrong pronunciation.

I'm literally laughing out loud at how much this appears to be majorly upsetting you right now.
