What is the difference between Rodger and Roger?

[FelixDeCat]

With the exception of the missing letter 'd', I submit that only one is spelled properly and its not the one missing a consonant.

Furthermore, there is also a strange tendency to pronounce these two names the same way, despite between spelled differently: Sean / Shawn.

One should sound like "Seen" the other "Shawn" as in "De'Shawn Washington". Therefore the actor who you might know as James Bond was once played by a man called Seen Connery..

Seen-

DeShawn

Same difference as rodgering or rogering. Either way, Oldsmoboat is behind you with a big grin on his face.

ROFL...My neighbor is one of a set of twins. The neighbor's name is Sean...but it's pronounced "Seen." His brother is Shawn...pronounced Shawn.
Yes...his mom is a fucking fruitcake.

They're in their mid-40's...so everyone who knows them is used to it...but since NORMAL people pronounce "Sean" as "Shawn," the lulz still occur from time to time.
