Phonetic First/Last Name

[Telp]

Is this a new option under the add field under the contacts menu? Either way, what exactly does it mean or do?

It there for say.. well here is an example:

Say your the President of a large nation. Only problem - you can't really read, even though our wife is a librarian. So your librarian wife enters into your phone book on your phone the correct way to say a diplomats name, that way when you go to call French President Sarkozy "[sar-KOzee]" you don't mess up his name or the name of their country [frans].

Here's another person criticizing another's intelligence, yet they don't know the correct your/you're usage. You gotta laugh sometimes.

Theres a difference between writing on a blog and being the president of a nation. You got to laugh sometimes, but right now im laughing at you for actually saying that. Lighten up man.

Im not the president of a large country, I don't expect anyone to think Im smart - or even expect me to use proper grammar on a bulletin board were no one even knows me. Im surprised you didn't point out my other typo's to be honest.

(You do know the proper usage of you're Im assuming - you know you use it instead of 'you are'... like you're reaching here...) :P

Im curious to know why so many threads on internet forums side track into debates and disputes regarding spelling. There should be a statistic out there that states "an unusually high amount".

This isn't a place where people tediously review their submissions as if it were a final thesis for their doctrine degree. Typing your instead of you're on a board means absolutely nothing. its just casual typing

im guessing it may be noobs trying to flash/flex their mental muscles or just pedants like me. after you've done it for a while you get bored so that's why i say they must be noobs.

i agree: stick to the point. people have limited time.

It's just a nicer version of Godwin's Law.

I don't expect a thesis out of you, but it's hard to feel like you're having an intelligent conversation with someone when basic grammar/spelling are ignored.

Is this an additional field parsed by Voice Control for names with odd pronunciations?
