There was a story here in the local rag about a parent who was upset her kid's teacher was not pronouncing the little brat's name properly. The kid's name is Le-a. Any halfwit would pronounce it "Leah", but the mother was upset, saying "The '-' is NOT silent, her name is Le-dash-a". Poor kid ....

If only that would work. If we tried that method, then the GOVERNMENT would decide who the "stupid" people are. Oh yeah, they tried that in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union (and they still do in China). If we are not careful, it could happen here very soon.

I'm sorry that you can't read the sarcasm dripping from that statement.
However, if you're naming your children in that fashion you obviously are showing a lack in judgment that's required for raising children. Guess what, the government already has the ability to determine that.
How about taking things a little less seriously?

Is that ( - ) a hyphen? So I hope the teacher bopped them with the little brown handbook, or maybe a harbrace manual... What is this world coming to?
