Behold the truths behind the internet.

I discovered something yesterday: I have never, ever had to spell amanuensis out loud for anyone. As in, never given anyone Amanuensis's email address or website address or lj name out loud. I tried to do it for the first time on a recording yesterday and completely blew it.

*is amused by your post* My language being phonetic, I always tend to break down a name in syllables instead of letters in my mind, even in English, before trying to spell it out, which makes things easier for me. ^^

(Yer icon's so appropriate!) I work by visualization and/or memory, so, once I've done it once or twice, it sticks. I hope.
