my surname is O’Loughlin, almost no ****er can either pronounce it if written or spell it correctly if hearing it.

MTFU and get over yourself except the english can’t cope with anything derived from any gaelic language.

Phonetically…

Oh Lock (slightly guttural) Lin 🙂

Blimey, try being called Jon. *everyone*, even people who have known me for tens of years still put the h on.

Jonh?

If you’re going to rant, you really need to learn the difference between except and accept.

“the english can’t cope with anything derived from any gaelic language”

Not entirely true: we’re quite happy with “brogues” and “smashing”, albeit anglicized somewhat. I’m sure there are other examples of word adoption; it is, after all, what we do.

is paganh better then?

Get over yourself, do you have any idea how you come across?

Oh & you can call me whatever you wish, it makes no odds to me.

😉
