There is an Irish lady here named Sheelagh (like Sheila). Every time I walk by her desk and see her name plate, I want to say her name like a pirate. Sheel-ARRRGH!
Ah, Irish is such a wonderful language - not! You want to know how confusing it is to try to drive somewhere when all the traffic signs are in Irish? I mean they are in English as well, but I always miss my turn thinking "How in the name of hell do they get *that* to be pronounced 'Dublin'...?"
This name always confuses me at first glance: Siobhan.
Siobhan = Shuh-VAWN
Of course, the only place I ever see it is in baby name books. No, I don't have any kids, but looking at those books is one of my pastimes. Another one of those I just can't help but do.

Michael, that's not a town - that's the middle row on a typewriter...
LMAO
That's one of the things I would pay someone to do in a heartbeat!
