I've never been shocked about this phenomenon though :-) - to each his/her own. Amodini does not have an "h" in it, but I've seen (via my stats) that people do search for "Amodhini's Movie Reviews".AMODINIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06139174723590134981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30484615.post-62069389403293332732010-03-18T06:40:50.442-05:002010-03-18T06:40:50.442-05:00Also, we are softer people by heart.

Add to that the lack of any accent. :)Vineet Rajanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10427028635662568197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30484615.post-11079492786276897502010-03-18T06:52:30.986-05:002010-03-18T06:52:30.986-05:00:) sort of the same thing with me.. which is why I...:) sort of the same thing with me.. which is why I hear the South Indian spelling argument more often than I would like!

I am a telugu, and had the same confused/frustrated comment from my husband who is a kannadiga who thinks this fixation with the extra H is very telugu or tamil! It took him a while to get used to the extra H and he has finally made peace with it. :D<br><br>You hit it on the head. It helps to soften it and most importantly... What is the big deal??<br><br>Also, Vinni says he passes off for "north Indian" because he has no accent! Really? If anything South Indians have a more cultured English accent than North Indians (northies speak less in English and more in hindi to start with!). It is not much of a compliment to get passed off as North Indian, imo.The Unknown Citizenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15083580505390282934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30484615.post-35994045351012476012010-04-02T10:32:10.409-05:002010-04-02T10:32:10.409-05:00@Rach:.. you too ate my "h" ! :)@Rach:.. you too ate my "h" ! :)Nishanthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11961779985466552379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30484615.post-52060320238739710162010-04-02T13:07:34.982-05:002010-04-02T13:07:34.982-05:00@Nishanth: LOL :D@Nishanth: LOL :DRachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09791351711056663599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30484615.post-29987731580827426832010-04-04T11:45:58.149-05:002010-04-04T11:45:58.149-05:00That was a good one :)That was a good one :)Ashishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04390683786768638834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30484615.post-2028264224874083002010-04-22T13:29:15.048-05:002010-04-22T13:29:15.048-05:00you could also backlink my travel blog, if you pre...you could also backlink my travel blog, if you prefer http://tra-well.blogspot.com <br>we are still trying... :-)Sneohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10238837853038485360noreply@blogger.com
