Evolution has blessed humankind with innumerable cheat-codes for domination over nature. Not least of which is the power of complex communication. We can have a distinct word for every specific thing. Including each other. While every dog calls every other dog Woof, humanity can call each other by their specific word. But now that word is personal. Our name. While a rose by any other name smells as sweet, a person by another name is soured. How much leeway can we allow someone to mistake our name? What is the appropriate level of offense to mount in the defense of our identity? Join Mark and Veronica as we call each other Bud and Sweetie in an effort to avoid Mispronouncing Names.
