Man Probably Sorry His Name Causes Confusion

| March 18th, 2013

If you want to sound hip at parties when people are discussing what is sure to be the book of the season, let us, in association with the folks at the Associated Press, lend you a hand: "Actually, it's pronounced 'bree.'" Everyone will be very impressed.

Related, my last name sounds so much nicer in its native tongue: that dolphin language Darryl Hannah's character spoke in Splash.

"Culture site" makes it sound like y'awl are sitting around growing books out of Petri dishes. Keep at it, okay?

Dear Dave Bry,

I'm sorry I've been pronouncing your name to rhyme with "dry" in my head for the past, what, two-three years now.

I knew this already somehow? I could swear I read somewhere (Balk's Tumblr?) that "his name sounds like the cheese."
