I have spelled my last name, at least 10,000 times...and yet I get people asking me how do you say your last name. So instead of spelling it out...I figured I could borrow the phonetic sound for Superman 'so?op?r-man'?to enable anyone who still struggles to say my name correctly.
"According Malcolm Gladwell that would make me an expert at spelling my last name!"
My last name is Cymerman...Its not Zimmerman, or Zimermann, Kymerman...the one that irks me most, is when someone spells my first name with a K; Karlos...I don't get that one at all.
"What inspired the blog...is the recent plethora of candidates with American sounding names; but when I speak on the phone with them...they barely can put one sentence together in English."
I guess people could assume that I am Latino; because my first name is Carlos...and English is not my native language....that can also be said about just anyone (I give people the benefit of the doubt).
By the way....I am Mexican...but English is my third language, and when I speak on the phone I have an East Coast accent....and I don't pretend to be someone that I am not.
I am more than just my name....
