@arthurzey I hardly see how the way one pronounces her name is related to what one thinks of her philosophy. Or, in other words, QQ.

@cluisanna Seems to me that if one can't even manage to pronounce her name correctly, it shows a lack of being educated enough about her and her philosophy (and the reasoning behind it) to be qualified to comment on it. So if that's what's going on, that seems pretty dishonest or irresponsible. Alternatively, if it's intentional, then that's just more dishonest.

@arthurzey No, the ability to pronounce words or names correctly has nothing to do with knowledge of the related concepts or people. I'm German, and English speakers mispronounce German words and names all the time, but they still know what they're talking about. In fact, Rand's real name was Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum, a mix of Russian and German. Can you pronounce that?

@cluisanna Irrelevant, but yes, I can, because my family immigrated from Russia, and I speak Russian. Ayn Rand was her chosen name in English as an American. This is an American show. There's nothing challenging for English speakers to pronounce it correctly. Mispronouncing it here actually does signify something, either ignorance or something else.
