  • Yep. It’s like Michel/Michelle/Michael, if the anglo form derived not from the Hebrew but the French form; and badly: Meekul (which isn’t bad by itself, but is just uncanny-valley weird).

    To make matters worse, the discordant form is popular in some famous boomer/X vocalists; so I commiserate with Sade, a local clerk, and we get to eye-roll in unison about it.

    Bah. It’s not peak-discordant (imagine a ‘Moy-KELLE’ that isn’t a Michaela), so it’s no significant source of stress; just a footnote . But enough about boring me.

    I love how you gloss over an entire spectrum of impairments by simply suggesting old- or different-abled people trivially choose a willing volunteer to take them to their mailbox 10 feet or 20 km down the road in a country as sparse as this one and in an era of such community disconnect.

    The “I don’t need it so no one gets it” is just a bad look. You see a shoreline often?
