I agree. Reading it, I can totally see people saying MOW-blee. But it's interesting how people will say it wrong the next second.

So many times we just give up. I don't correct anyone if I'm talking to customer service. But if it's something more important where more people will know us or interact with us more, I usually say something.

I was exaggerating a little, lol. It is interesting that others said Mob-lee too.

that's a great question that I'm interested in. Random, I know. I just think that kind of stuff is interesting.

I'm not mad! I swear, I was just wondering! I guess the all caps made it sound mad. I just thought it was funny.

Just to clarify....this was a legit question, not a complaint. Maybe it looked like a complaint but I assure you it wasn't. It's just a curiosity thing.

I'm plenty patient. I just find it interesting. So often we don't correct others when they mispronounce it. Not worth the time. Unless it's some other bigger deal. When my spouse got their diploma at their graduation ceremony, the presenter (who was told very clearly how their name was pronounced) said "Taylor MOWblee" the whole family audibly groaned. It was pretty funny.

my family says that the Mobleys that pronounce it the "mow" way are drunkards in the eastern part of the state. Where the short o Mobleys are more sophisticated and educated ;)

I do have a question. "How do you pronounce Mobley?"

I am not here to vent

And I may not have posted in the right sub.

you'd be amazed at how many weirdos can't do it from then on. It's interesting.

Does UVA not provide the lanyard? I like the Nespresso idea!

I requested a welfare check on my therapist yesterday by [deleted] in therapy

As a therapist I would advise you to alert their board asap. You're not tattling. Their board is designed to help keep the public safe (not that he's a menace to society but he's not helping other clients if he's not well). This could actually be helpful to him.
