Messpelleng
Why do people misspell my simple name John to Jhon? Always! Everytime I would order a cup of coffee at Starbucks, or whenever I would go to the local laundry shop, or I’m dining [sic] in a fastfood they always never fail to write my name in ORs as Sir Jhon. And here I thought we are a big Christian nation! Ever seen the name of Saint John the Beloved misspelled as Saint Jhon? Or Saint John the Baptist as Saint Jhon the Baptist? I bet you haven’t! Pronouncing John is ja-han, not jay-hon! Next time I’ll be telling everyone that my name is Peter and I’m expecting they will write it down as Fighter.
Jhon. The same reason kung bakit merong mga pilipino na ang pangalan ay “Jhay”, “Jhong” at “Bhebe” or “Kharen”. Hahahaha.
