You Better Learn the Pronunciation

Mis pronouncing a State’s name is as common as mis pronouncing ‘mispronunciation’! Beware! It could be illegal

Mispronunciation can happen to anyone. However one must be careful with the name of this state. According to the Arkansas Code, the pronunciation of the state’s name is “Arkansaw”. The statute enacted in 1881, specifies that the last letter “s” is silent.  The law makes it illegal to mispronounce the name of the city. The law aims to preserve the identity of the state and embrace its cultural roots.

Worth a Thought?

The elusiveness of personal space

Boundaries are important not only for physical space but for emotional comfort as well.

Personal space is not just physical distance between persons. It is also the emotional and mental comfort felt around being with person / persons. 

There is no fixed proportion of personal space between people as it differs from one person to another. A reserved, reticent person is likely to feel more comfortable around family rather than a social gathering with strangers. In contract, an extrovert needs lesser personal space. It is a point beyond which entry into one’s thoughts and emotions are restricted.

Boundaries and personal space are often used interchangeably. There is a strong element of intuition / gut feeling in setting boundaries or not allowing another into personal space. It is important to listen to that voice in the head.

Distance between two people either physically or emotionally basically arises out of sense of comfort or safety. Be it professional or personal – laying down boundaries helps maintain a healthy interpersonal space sans intrusion.
