I though my husband was the only one who says "Well, Buddy, if you can't even pronounce my name - I know I don't need to talk to you. click" He sees it as an easy and cheap message screening device. I hate to be rude (he's much better at it), but, it does irritate to have your name slaughtered so often. Marianne Pyfatt (my favorite misspelling (on a payment booklet, no less)).
