Joking around is commonplace with my friends so when emails are sent out, we often get sidetracked making fun of each other and the hilarity ensues. Let me share part of an email thread from this past Friday.
An email was sent out trying to get a headcount for dinner for a friend's birthday. As the emails trickled in, one of the guys (Sai) got confused because another friend (Sorn) recently changed his name to
Kei (pronounced like the letter K). However, we all share a common friend who we have always called
Kei (pronounced "kee", like car key).
Here was the exchange (with minor edits for grammar/punctuation):
Sai:
[Darn] it Sorn! Why did you have to take Kei's name?...I keep mixing up your email if I don't notice the DOE. What's wrong with you? Fool!
Sorn aka Kei:
Don’t hate!
Me:
Yeah, don't hate....participate. As a matter of fact, I'm also changing my name to
Kei. But it's pronounced "Kai" (like K-Eye) because I have to differentiate from "Kee" and "Kay". Any takers for
Kei, pronounced K-Oh and
Kei, pronounced K-You?
~Kei
Sai:
Yeah, Paul might be right. Let's all rename ourselves
Kei. But mines will be pronounced Jacob like from Twilight.
