Simon says

I am not making this up. The following conversation actually took place.

Me: Hi, I’m Evan
Simon: I’m Simon
Me: Nice to meet you, Simon.
Simon: It is pronounced “Sea-Mon”.
Me: Oh, I’m sorry.
Simon: All I want is for people from America to say my name correctly. “Sea-Mon”, can you just give me that?
Me: … I’ll try, but it’s kind of early in the morning.

For the record everyone says my name “Ēvān” and I don’t complain about it. Actually, I do. Sorry Simon.
