I'm new on Hubski (this is actually my first post!) but this is a username I use everywhere now.

I once went to a McDonalds a few years back (not entirely by choice), where there was a lady with a very foreign accent serving the group I was with. When she asked for my name to put on the receipt, I told her "William." She asked what I said. I told her again. She asked a third time, and again I said "William."

The receipt came back as "Ralian."

I feel bad for her, it must have been rough trying to understand what everyone was telling her - my English to her must have sounded just as strange as her accent did to me.. I saw her get several peoples names wrong, but hopefully she's settled in to her job more now and can get names right :)
