I was reminded of this by the exchange about correcting the pronunciation of peoples’ names in another thread.
You meet an Australian woman named Amber. She insists her name is supposed to be pronounced “Ambah” – the ‘r’ is supposed to be silent. (Something that actually happened to me). Choose the answer closest to how you’d feel.
- Fine. If that’s how she wants people to pronounce her name then good for her.
- I’d politely comply with her request, but I’d secretly be thinking she’s just making everyone pronounce her name in an Australian accent.
- You can’t make me speak Australian! I’ll pronounce the ‘r’ with my American accent.

You are a professor. Your classes consist entirely of homework and essays, no exams, and are supposed to last a semester long (four months). But just by the 3rd week, one of your students marches into your office and triumphantly deposits a sheaf of essays and homework and says “I’ve completed every task on the syllabus” and marches out never to return. What do you do?
- Give her passing grade, assuming all the work is original (un-plagiarized) and of passing quality
- Give her failing grade; this is disrespectful and she’s still supposed to sit through the lectures
