Alas, my home game has another quandary. Who is the a-hole here?
A player who has been attending for several years, we will call him "Steve" (this is not his real name), is enjoying friendly banter with the other players. We start discussing names (for instance, two of our players who are not present, one player has called the other by the slightly wrong name (think like the difference between Rob and Bob) for years and we all wonder when eventually someone may try to correct it).
And then "Steve" says, "people mispronounce my name all the time." I ask what he means, and he says, "It's not 'steev', it's 'steh vay'. After some back and forth, and some "wait, what, really?" it becomes clear that this is totally legitimate (and not goofy like my example).
Someone we all considered a friend, let us mispronounce his name horribly for the better part of three years. And said nothing while we disrespected him. And now we all feel like terrible a-holes. But should we? Who is the a-hole, here?
