My name is Kieran.
Kieran is a Scottish name. Now I should not have to be telling you this story but thanks to some "North America's" it has been brought to my attention that the stereotype that all American's are dumb seems to be correct.
Now, on Xbox-Live we all know that running into Americans is like running into a big wall of stupid, But seriously. In this English language that we speak, the simple rule is I before E, Expect after C. Hell it's even song lyrics, What more do you need?
Hence why my name is spelt K-i-e-r-a-n. If you see someone else who spells it any other way, Some popular ones are K-e-i-r-a-n and K-i-e-r-e-n feel free to shoot them on sight and proceed to anal rape their parents with a pineapple.
Another thing you Yanks quite cant understand is how to pronounce my name. It's really not hard. Kieran say it with me, Kieran. Even do the syllobel thing. Kie-Ran. Im sorry Uncle Sam but my name isn't pronounced Korean, Or Kierian, You fucking idiot. But I give you props for having ago because Dante is trying to associate the letter K to something that isnt KFC.
Now i do relise that Americans must always be different. Because of this we are born with American English. Maybe that's whats wrong, You need to learn the proper English language. Because this is how it sounds when words are pronounced correctly.
