I get so irrationally upset about this man’s name. Like to the point where I will not watch anything with him in it. It is everything that is wrong with the English language.

I will die on this hill.

BTW it would be Seen Bean or Shawn Bawn.

    Sean is an Irish name though. It is spelt Seán in Irish iirc. The e makes the s soft, the accent on a makes the e silent. Irish spelling does make sense once you learn the system.

    I will not be swayed by your understanding of regional dialects and logic.

    Oooh but Irish is not a regional dialect of English, it's a different language. Gotcha!
