How people communicate says a lot about them whether anyone likes it or not. Noting that isn't an attack, it's simple truth.

As someone who grew up with a very easy to intentionally mispronounce last name, I know it definitely impacts my opinion of people who do so as adults.

And in those same terms of service there's also that human kindness goes a long way. Is name calling human kindness?
