Recommend asking about name pronunciation #140

Closed aartikelapure closed 8 months ago

aartikelapure commented 1 year ago

The final bullet point in the section What we expect and why says:

I'd like to suggest editing "Make an effort to say people's names correctly" to something like "If you are unsure how to pronounce someone's name, ask them how they would like their name pronounced and make an effort to say it correctly."

Basically, don’t assume you know what “correct” pronunciation is.

I have personal feelings about this one from several bad workplace experiences from well-intentioned colleagues who decided what correct pronunciation was for me. I am happy to share if more clarification or explanation is needed to make an edit.
