All of us named Aaron will, though. For those who aren't, or are and somehow haven't yet had this pointed out: [VIDEO]

> I've been more flexible, going by "A Aaron" I'm sorry, but if I found that name IRL I'd have a hard time not laughing. Have you seen the Substitute Teacher sketch by Key and Peele? [VIDEO]

I agree with you 100%. For all of humanities fallibleness, every averted nuclear close call was due to having a human in the loop[0] in one way or another. For instance, in 1960 Norway's sunrise was interpreted by radar in Greenland as a nuclear attack by the Soviet Union. Thankfully there were no automated responses, and humans in the loop realized the error quite quickly once they assessed all the surrounding facts [0]: [LINK] [1]: I couldn't help but think of this skit and pronunciation when seeing O'Shaughnessy from Key & Peel (video is linked to the pronunciation but its worth watching in its entirety if you like this kind of humor) [VIDEO]

Does anyone find themselves accidentally mispronouncing Jason like "JSON"? It must be as annoying as mispronouncing Aaron like "A-A-Ron". [VIDEO]
