So I found out recently that I've been mispronouncing my supervisor's name for the past 2 years. Apparantly the 'D' in "Dinesh" is pronounced like the "th" in "there." It makes me feel better that everyone else found out at the same time as me.

By the way, I didn't mention it, but "Timothy" is actually pronounced nee-po-^-hai ( ^ is a clucking sound made with the tongue).
