[Opinions] Re: Shyamala - okay so it isn't strange after all... [m]
in reply to a message by chazda
I've never heard M. Night Shyamalin's name pronounced out loud.
Anyway yah, y'all are right. She says it SH(EE)AH-ma-la. The Y sound kind of gets blended in, so it's basically SHAHmala. I was confused by that for a bit when I saw the spelling.
By the way, she's a WASP, if anyone was curious. I haven't gotten a chance to find out the personal story of her name, I thought it was rude enough to push for the spelling when I'd just met her.
