This Spells Trouble, Part 2
(This story happened a few decades ago, before different spellings became more common. My father only had a few names he was unsure of the spelling, one of those names being Elise (Elyse, Aleece, etc.).)
Customer: *finishing conversation* “And this is for Elise, [Last Name].”
My Dad: “All right, and how do you spell that?”
Customer: *huffing loudly* “The right way, of course!”
My Dad: “Well, to be sure I’ve got it right; can you spell it for me?”
Customer: “Argh! A-L-I-C-E, of course!” *hangs up*
