I swear...

...if I hear one more alien in one more movie respond to the question "What is your name?" with "It's difficult to pronounce in your language" spoken in perfect English, I swear I will scream.

WORD!

But will you scream in Earthian or Martian?

I will scream my name in French. Or maybe German. It really doesn't matter. Know why? Because my name is the same in every damned language. That's because it's my NAME. It's the particular combination of sounds that refer to me.

I can live with "You'd never be able to pronounce it" but goddamnit, the alien ought to be able to.

I think the movie Splash handled that well.

It's right up there with "my name is SQUEEE" and watching someone's head explode.
