This is wild to me. The first thing I always say to a new group is: if I mispronounce your name, please correct me. Why would you, as a professional and a human, not take the time to learn how to say someone's name?! The disrespect is inconceivable.

I've had students who are absolutely gobsmacked at this and tell me stories about tutors and teachers who have NEVER tried to pronounce their name properly, have given them nicknames, or just not bothered addressing them at all. Even showing you're trying makes a difference.

When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes… Judi Dench reciting Shakespeare’s sonnet 29 on Graham Norton.

Judi Dench was on Graham Norton last night to push her new book about her life and work with Shakespeare. After making the point we quote Shakespeare daily without knowing it, this happened:
