Title: A "Josette"
Post by: Josette on May 22, 2024, 07:21:47 AM
There's a lawyer whom I do a lot of typing for, and a first name that's come up a lot recently in something he's working on is "Geosette."  With so many words starting "geo," in my mind I had always pronounced it as gee-oh-sette, which seemed a strange name.  Tonight it suddenly dawned on me that the "e" is presumably just to show that the "g" is pronounced like a "j" and therefore, the name is Josette!!!

It just seemed so weird, with the other spelling I never thought of it, and all of a sudden I see that this person was Josette!

Definitely an interesting spelling for the name. 

Those moments in life of sudden realization are so memorable. 
I could tell an embarrassing and awkward story about a thing I thought was a toy telescope, but I think I’ll just let people possibly figure it out if they run into a caption (or fill in the blank) that I did.
