Zaikesman's Username Pronunciation Field Guide

I figured with such an unusual first name like Sherod, I'd go ahead and just use it as my username,just like Sean, Albertporter,etc.( except their first names aren't unusual) It's a family name( I'm the 3rd) taken from my great-great grandmother's French last name Sherrotte. Sherod, just like Sherrod, (some people have this as their last name) except with only one "r", is pronounced Cher-ud, with the accent on the first syllable. Very few people get the pronunciation right the first time.I have had a rough time throughout my life with my name that I usually just accept how most people pronounce my name without taking the time to correct them and then go into a long thesis of where it came from. Most of the "rednecks" in my neck-of-the-woods just say," What the heck were your parents thinking?"

Sean,
You slipped and let everyone know how old you are when you described women as "chicks". But then, Mr. Connery,now well into his 70's, still gets the "chicks".

Sean, famous words of the late Jack Benny( who, by the way, was a virtuoso violinist, even though he made fun of the instrument when he had it on stage). I too am 39 and holding.
