Entitlements

Instead of getting upset, maybe someone should simply look up the word “entitlement.” It means something to which someone is entitled, because it belongs to them.

If you deposit $100 dollars into a bank account, you’re entitled to withdraw it at any time. In the United States, you’re entitled to retire whenever you want.

As my father used to say, you’re entitled to pronounce your name any way you want.  Why?  Because it’s your name; it belongs to you.
