I was giving my email address over the phone yesterday, and after I hung up, wondered if I would ever receive the message. The primary address that I usually give out to people is wysz@thewysz.com. But if I simply say it, someone might think that &#8220;Wysz&#8221; is spelled &#8220;Wiz.&#8221; Or, if I spell it out, it could become &#8220;Wifc.&#8221; Fortunately, I did get the message, but I decided to take action to make the process go smoother in the future.<\/p>\n<p>So how did I address this?
