| HL is one of the oddest consonant clusters to start any name or word with; hlots of us hlive with it. |
Hlabels
There's always someone making nasty with the HL thing.
Hlike we need to hlisten to the teasing.
Several people told me of the purposeful mangling of their
names by others. Some call this teasing, some call it
harassment. But I suppose it depends on where it's
coming from and in what context.
I think you know just what I mean, don't you? As always, if
you know more about this I would greatly appreciate
hearing from you.
Hlavacek becomes: have-a-check Have-a-chick (which
the writer thought was ok) Hell-of-a-Czech and others there
weren't so nice and don't belong on a family page.
A Mr. Hlasny told me that his school chums and nemeses
called him "Hlas-Ass." That is not very nice if you ask me!
The Hladney family tells me that when they make
reservations they often become the "Holidays" -- which is
in the 'mildly amusing but aggravating' category
Chuck Hlavac says "I've accumulated all of the
misspellings of my name and present this in overhead
slides when I'm making presentations to people in my
company, with copies of address labels showing H. Lavac
Lhavac Lavac Hlavak Hvlac, etc, and the worst was
"Tavac," or was it "Havalavach"? Chuck couldn't be sure
on that. But I think Chuck in on the right track: teaching
respect and care for a person's hlast name is one of the
most important things a company can do.
