Good morning, gentlemen.
Hi Tony (from Geno)
Alright that's enough already.
I should look over what I cut and paste.
Good morning, Tom. Don't be so self conscious about the Geno. I'm sure the name exists. Shit, I think there's a frozen pizza out there called Geno's. I was just stating that the name doesn't exist in Italy. I once knew a guy named Geovanni. Based on that spelling, I knew he wasn't Italian. One more quick story... Someone I worked with wanted to name her son something really ethnic because they were 4th or 5th generation Italian. They went with Guiseppe. It looks like the real deal but in Italy would be pronounced Gooey-sep-eh. As opposed to the authentic Giuseppe which would be pronounced jew-sep-eh and translate to Joseph. I warned her she was making a mistake and she figured no one would know the difference. I'm sure that's what happened with Geno too.
Most wouldn't know the difference, but most are dumbasses.
I'm not Italian, but I've got a lot of close friends who are, so I try to have the
rispetto to get the
pronuncia right. Capisci?
