Why Illiteracy is rampant in Louisiana ~~~~ This apparently a true story!!!!
How would you pronounce this child’s name?
“Le-a”
Leah?? NO
Lee – A?? NOPE
Lay – a?? NO
Lei?? Guess Again.
This child attends a school in Livingston Parish, LA.. Her
mother is irate because everyone is getting her name wrong.
It’s pronounced “Ledasha”.
When the Mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name,
She said, “the dash don’t be silent.”
SO, if you see something come across your desk like this
please remember
to pronounce the dash.
If they axe you why, tell them the dash don’t be silent.
