Spelled with an 'e'

You're Anne of Green Gables!

by L.M. Montgomery

Bright, chipper, vivid, but with the emotional fortitude of cottage
cheese, you make quite an impression on everyone you meet. You're impulsive, rash,
honest, and probably don't have a great relationship with your parents. People hurt
your feelings constantly, but your brazen honestly doesn't exactly treat others with
kid gloves. Ultimately, though, you win the hearts and minds of everyone that matters.
You spell your name with an E and you want everyone to know about it.

But don't even think about calling me 'Rose'!

I think I can shed a bit of light on the problem of the pronunciation of your name by Yanks. I can't remember who said it but I've heard it said that the trouble with American English is: too many 'Z's; not enough 'U's. If you spelled your name like a *proper* Yank--RoZ, we'd be able to pronounce it. ;-).

Yes, although most often the people who have difficulties have never seen it written down. I think it's more of an accent issue - no short 'o' in the American pronunciation!
