Well she's in Louisiana, seaux

Well, that maybe seaux, but I married a Mayeux from Avoyelles Parish, not a Mayeaux. And trust me, she gets very uppity when someone misspells her surname.

And the paper wonders why they are losing subscribers. Not only that, but ESPN1420 ran the story with the name misspelled also. And they are the voice of the Cajuns. Go figure.

They can wonder why they are losing subscribers, but it isn’t bc of a misspelled name

i had a prof at usl, he had an advanced degree in linguistics. he was an expert on french names. he used to correct people on their own names. it was hilarious, but he was right every time...youd be surprised how many people didnt know the truth behind their own names...... not saying thats the case with your wife, but might be worth looking into, lol .... this was in mid 1990’s he was fairly old, he must have taught all through the 80’s and possibly part of the 70’s.

was it misspelled or was it to be a fun read.... it is considered endearing by national media when someone else does that, but bad when we do? without double standards there would be none.

this sounds pretty impressive: In June 2015, she would become the first female baseball player added to MLB's International Registration List

Correcting and being indignant about the French language, that’s seaux French.
