Question

Hello, Reuven works in a place where someone mispronounces his name (for example, omitting a letter), and it has become a habit. Should he point it out or correct it? If so, how should he phrase the request?

Answer

Hello 

If it bothers Reuven, he can approach the colleague and say, 'It bothers me that my name is mispronounced, and I would appreciate it if you could call me by the correct name.'

If it doesn't bother Reuven, there is no problem at all.
