Before I heard it being said I kept pronouncing the surname “Mangione” as “Man-jee-own” rather than “man-jo-nee” and I’m still ashamed about it lol I’m sorry

      Same here. One of my favorite bit-part actors is Siobhan Fallon, who played the wife of “Egger” in Men in Black. She absolutely stole the few scenes she was in. I didn’t know I was mispronouncing her name for years.

      I used to have a work friend named Siobhan and when I’d come home I’d mention her to my partner. Sometimes I would text him about her. He fully thought these were two different people for like a year.
