Luciferous | 6 years ago | Reply It is her name she may mutilate as she likes but can't stop wondering why Ms. "Hussain" spells her name "Hocane," which phonetically would be pronunciated as "Hokane" since "C" becomes "hard C" if it is followed by vowels A, O and U. Not being pedantic; just curious!
