When people can't say your name right and you just go with it

Turns out you've probably been saying Chrissy Teigen's name wrong all this time. She doesn't correct people and many can relate to her situation.

You know how innocent you have to be to allow a world to pronounce yo last name wrong yo whole life and just go along with it?

I don’t correct people, ever. They can call me Janet and I won’t. Wrong order? I’ll eat it. Taxi going to the wrong airport? I’ll change my flight.
