Nguyen and Tex
The receptionist
calls loudly for Nguyen
Mispronouncing
the name Nuh-Goo-Yen
Which is
what some Americans still do
Although
the patient is an American too
Some usages
we need to narrow down
Some usages
we need to broaden a bit
This is a
medical office waiting room
Where all
may diversify on the guest wifi
An Irrelevant Observation:
The
thought occurs that calling for Nguyen in Saigon
Would be
like calling for Tex in Abilene
