My name is Rhea (pronounced “Ree-ah”), and when I read this it just denounced all my hard work as to make people think of it pronounced that way. I think it is the American version of the name, which is Greek in nature, but then Asian countries have adopted it as “Ray” which is what southern people called me and it infuriated me. Also, the guys beard was mesmerizing to say the least.

Funny. My hierarchy of pronunciation, top to bottom, would be “ree-uh”, “ree’, “ray-uh”, and “ray”. Am I missing an element of classical education?

It’s just plain wrong, yo. Just plain wrong. It’s like he was planning to shoe-polish his entire face, then ran out of polish half-way through the job.

Guess that explains why I ran into my friend Rhea (REE-uh) there the other day and they asked her name no less than THREE TIMES while she was waiting for her sandwich… and then they still couldn’t remember it.

Also, their Vegetarian BBQ Chicken Sandwich is DELICIOUS.

But I think this is one of those things like Hoegaarden (pronounced “who garden” according to their packaging) that if you pronounce it correctly, people will try to “correct” you and you’ll feel like an idiot anyway.

Huh, I always called it “Ree-ah’s”, as in Rhea Perlman. Good to know, I guess.
