    Mispronunciation towards my last name is so common! All my teachers butcher my last name constantly but I don't mind it's something you get used to haha

    Depends on the situation.

    Usually at uni I get called Matthew in the first week of class, so I usually just say that its Matt (although they don't say it wrong, that's my preference).

    When people can't pronounce my name correct I know they are trying to hard. They will add letters that don't exist which I will usually correct. As for my last name. I will say it in Spanish, but people just are very confused so I "english-wash" to make it sound simple.
