how would you pronounce this name: "LE-A"

How would you pronounce this child's name?

"Le-a"

Leah?? NO
Lee - A?? NOPE
Lay - a?? NO
Lei?? Guess Again.

This child attends a school in Detroit, MI. Her mother is irate because everyone is getting her name wrong.

It's pronounced "Ledasha" .

When the Mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said, "the dash don't be silent."

SO, if you should happen to see something as ridiculous as this come across your desk, please remember to pronounce the dash.
If dey axes you why, just tell dem dat de dash don't be silent.

(And they wonder why the whole damn country is falling apart . . . )

No suprise here, I worked in metro detroit & had a fella come in askin for some WIMS for his GOOOLE

Now WIMS I could get but GOOOLE left me dumbfounded

I had him take me out to his GOOOLE so I could figure out what he was talking about.

We ended up putting wheels & tires on his Pontiac 6000 LE

This didn't happen in Roseville off Gratiot by any chance did it? I heard the same story but I though it was told it was a used car lot and he was trying to trade in his Gooole. Must have been the ghetto slang of the 313.
