congratulations, you're smarter than half of the people i've ever met, at least.

Of course, now my friends call me Lynette Your-gay just to make fun of me. The worst mispronunciation of my first name i've ever heard was earlier this year by a substitue in AP Language.... it was something along the lines of Li-ne-tee-tee (long i). That was horrid.
