Spotted on Instagram. For FUCKS SAKE. So so tempted to reply.
She has said ‘fold it in’ for a while , it was around a lot in her last lockdown larder.Does Nigella say it... fold it in?

My first name Is unusual and can be spelled differently my mum chose the slightly different spelling, however if you sound it out phonetically you will have it, however everyone who first meets me always says or spells it wrong. It's amazing. I just correct them and the rest is history.I have an unusual surname, one that looks different to how it is pronounced. I don't like to think of it as difficult, I prefer unusual or different.
It made me the butt of many a joke in school, and I was certainly picked on for it. It sounds rude, and as a gay man, bullies at school slightly changed it to make it sound even worse. They did it to fit the bullying narrative. To this day people snigger when I say it. They soon get over it, especially when I stand there and just roll my eyes.
I have to spell my name for people, as it is not spelt the way it sounds. I can not blame people for not being able to spell a name they have never come across before, and it is better for me to tell them than for them to get it wrong. I don't think it is rude of them if they get it wrong and I haven't told them how to spell it.
What does piss me off is when I have taken the time to spell it out, they STILL get it wrong.
She chose to change her name once, there is nothing to stop her changing it back should she so wish. Her followers would still follow her. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. A scammer by any other name would still be a scammer.
But but but...you told us about the delicious things! The kippers, the chippy tea?
My great-grandparents once bought me a set of personalised colouring pencils for Christmas with my surname spelled badly wrong. That one left a mark.I have an unusual surname, one that looks different to how it is pronounced. I don't like to think of it as difficult, I prefer unusual or different.

Genuine question: is she a single mother and full-time child carer if she co-parents with SB's dad? I'm not a parent, so I don't fully understand the linguistics. My ex used to call himself a single dad and he co-parented with his kid's mum.
Mmmmm, who doesn't want a meal that's had plastic leaching into it for hours?I was browsing my Google news earlier (I swear I do not read the Daily Mail of my own volition) and was shown this article. Prepare for the industrial quantities of slop promised by this revolutionary technique. Bearing in mind Jack has seven slow cookers, she could at minimum double her slop production to fourteen dubious low-and-slow concoctions! RIP her postman.

She is a single mother and has full time childcare responsibilities when she needs to fulfil that victim narrative. The amount of time she spends on Twitter and generally bleeping around doing nowt of value would suggest that she has a lot of help from SB’s co-parent.Genuine question: is she a single mother and full-time child carer if she co-parents with SB's dad?

Sounds a little like my first name! (It’s not Martha btw ) I kept my married surname after I got divorced and the amount of people who spell it and even pronounce it wrong astounds me. It’s two separate words joined together but people start adding extra letters and all sorts. Obviously it’s not as bad as Jacks birth name (and I’m not being snippy when I say that) I can understand she may have felt marginalised by it as a kid, but as people have said, she chose to change it for the reasons she’s already said in public, not because it’s difficult to spell. She’s just inserting herself into things that don’t concern her againMy first name Is unusual and can be spelled differently my mum chose the slightly different spelling, however if you sound it out phonetically you will have it, however everyone who first meets me always says or spells it wrong.

Exactly this. I, like her, am white, have a very standard first name (no, I'm not called Melissa), but a non-English surname with 'difficult ' spelling and pronunciation. Yes, I have to spell it out all the time, yes, I occasionally get comments, but honestly, I have no clue how that relates to a woman of colour growing up with a non-English name in the UK or the US. Just no relation.I don't think her experience isn't valid - having a really Russian surname, I can relate. However, it's the responding to the struggles of a woman of colour directly by tweet, which to me reads as she thinks they are equivalent - that I think is tone deaf and grating.
I'm vegan and I have a freezer full fish.I’m allergic to apples but I’ve got duck LOADS
y tho
Part of the ASD cosplay..I haaaate it when she pretends to misunderstand people.
Totally agree. There is a broader conversation to be had about the complexities of growing up with mixed heritage or backgrounds, and where it's appropriate to individuals, visually passing as white, of growing up in a home that is culturally different to the majority, or that is mixed, or that isn't discussed out loud, navigating different cultural signifiers and unwritten rules and feeling or actively being othered both in and out of the home. I'm sure she'd be able to make nuanced and authentic contributions to that kind of conversation.In comparison to say, Smith or Cooper (lol), Hadjicostas is ‘difficult’. It’s not ‘English’, she would have had to spell it out to some people, and she may have been picked on at school for having a Greek surname.
Yes, she changed it for perhaps questionable reasons, yes, she’s now retroactively regretting changing it now, and yes, she’s trying to insert herself into dialogue about BAME women and their names - all very shabby and very HER. But I would imagine for her, maybe it was difficult to have a Greek name at times, especially for someone who is at odds with who she really is.
