  • Name Pronunciation Tautology on Social Sites

  • Sharing a humorous hack for name pronunciation fields on social media.

  • The Pronunciation Hack

    • On August 3, 2023, I shared a favorite joke for sites offering name pronunciation features.
    • I enter "My name is pronounced just like it sounds!", which sounds meaningful at first but is actually a tautology.
    • I noted that Facebook did not accept free-form input, requiring a compromise, but left the details for others to discover.
These facts are as Randal recalls them, but much time has passed for most of this. If you find a factual error, please email realmerlyn@gmail.com.
