If a tele_marketer takes the time to show an effort in getting my name 
correctly pronounced (Teodors and not Theodore) I might give them the 
time of day, if not I usually tell them to take a phonics course and 
hang up. Its strange how little an effort is applied to getting a name 
correct in todays business'.  I've seen correspondence with everything 
from Mr. T. Gozling to Ozonol.  English is/was my second language, but 
over the years has become the only language I use. I was taught in 
primary school that a persons name is as import as the person. We were 
given various assignments that required us to look up and ensure that 
the name of the person we had to write to was correct, including all the 
initials. Our teachers name was Miss Sally Jeanne.
Cheers..
