Speaker 5: started to kind of come out Karen. Her grandmother was
Speaker 5: passing and her name was Karen. I wanted to twist
Speaker 5: to it, but yeah, everybody thinks. They don't even look
Speaker 5: at her name, they just hear it and assume it's
Speaker 5: Karen being said into the Karen.
Speaker 1: Poor Karen's that's a sweet name. But they've got such
Speaker 1: a raw deal on that way. There are a bunch
Speaker 1: of these, so a lot of people go for a weird,
Speaker 1: interesting spelling, and it just becomes kind of a nightmare,
Speaker 1: so thanks for sharing those
