   Coffee lady: what's your name?
   Me: Ned
   Coffee lady: *writes "Dan" on lid*

   There's something about my name that Asian people simply cannot comprehend.

     @ned They (chinese mostly) are not good at certain consonants at the end of words. Josh is as bad as Ned, trust me.

     @Sophistifunk I had some Japanese friends that would call me "Neddosan" because Japanese doesn't have words that end in "D"

     @ned yeah, but the Japanese are like the Italians, in that they’ll just add a vowel on the end. A in Italy, O in japan as a rule. But the Chinese have to make a bigger change to the word to grasp it, I think because they have more sounds to choose from so don’t chop things up so much to get the same info density.
