Today I learned….
Quvenzhané is pronounced ‘Kwah-ven-jah-nay’. Poor kid has been dealing with so much crap while promoting Annie, I guess a few interviewers literally told her ‘I’ll just call you Annie because it’s simpler’ COME ON IT ISN’T THAT HARD IT WAS A 2 SECOND GOOGLE SEARCH. Also I think it’s a really pretty name! Don’t whitewash a little girl because you’re a lazy asshole.
Plus, for God’s sake, it’s four fucking syllables, we use words that long all the time in common speech, I’m sure you can trouble yourself to get it right. Christ, ‘interviewers’ has the same number of syllables and no one gets up in a twist about it. If the spelling gives you trouble at first, just ask and be nice about it and it makes the whole thing go a lot smoother (can you tell that I have some experience with the matter?).
