    You should see the class rolls with which I'm routinely confronted ... Names of Hispanic, Chinese, Indian, Thai, Nigerian, Vietnamese and other origins. Names that fall into my cultural wheelhouse are decidedly in the minority. Good thing I only take attendance the first day ...

    Hell, I'd have them form a line with student IDs in hand, approach you with your clipboard and check them off one by one.

    My point in posting it is that if you mispronounce a person's name on a consistent basis, you might be lazy, clueless or inconsiderate. But it doesn't automatically make you a bigot nor is a commentary on someone's heritage.

    And if you, as a matter of course, assume away the "might", you're in all likelihood a dipshit whose offense-taking is more affect than effect.
