Spelling Does Count

Attention World!

My name is Suzanne.

Let me spell it. S U Z A N N E

Let's try pronouncing it, shall we?

sOO-zan'

Here's what my name is not:

Susan

Which is spelled S U S A N

And is pronounced

sOO'zun

TWO DIFFERENT NAMES WITH DIFFERENT SPELLINGS AND PRONUNCIATIONS.

Not the same name. So when I give you my name, and even spell it for you, what should I hear and/or see?

Suzanne.

Not Susan.

Thank you.
