See, my middle name ends with an S and my last name begins with an S... and my middle name is a pluralized name, so nobody hears the S when I say it in conjunction with my last name. So I've gotten really good at pronouncing the S, stopping for a beat, then saying my last name, without it sounding super weird or robotic.
So properly pronouncing "hot potato" while enunciating the first T doesn't seem too challenging to me.
This is some riddle shit I can't figure out
Something like "Adams Smith" probably fits the bill. People would hear "Adam Smith"
Thanks so much! I always sucked at riddles I couldn't come up with anything lol
