-Except, of course, when your name is packed with weird (to the receiver) letter combinations.
Being Norwegian and working with foreign clients 99% of the time, I at some point started collecting misspellings of my name; I gave up after having collected more than 40 unique ones.
At a former employer, we solved this by creating aliases made up by our employee # - so I was 698@$COMPANY, for instance.
It sure beat spelling out my name for the umpteenth time over a poor satellite phone connection.
- lucian1900 5y agoI gave up long ago, I now tell my employer to use a much shorter name that is easy in most languages and is similar to my real one.
- jweather 5y agoHaving a long last name and long company domain name, my work address weighs in at 31 characters, not fun to spell over the phone. I just use a different address if I have to spell it over the phone.
