Steven Heighton: My name is Steven Heighton. And people often mispronounce my name when they've never heard it said. They see the word height in my last name, but strangely they pronounce it HATE, probably because English spelling is so confusing and the word weight is spelled the same way, E-I-G-H, and yet pronounced with a hard A instead of an E sound. So I always have to correct people and just say, "It's HIGH-TUH, like height."
