I bought a " ,La " tee shirt on Amazon and posted pic to my daughters

Now their friends are texting me asking where I got it, and immediately heading over to purchase one. It is very eye catching, the comma in red (or blue) and the La in white, on a black tee.

It’s just that suddenly, everyone wants a little piece of this elation! Feels good!

I live in Florida and Lord knows, I’ve had to look at plenty of disgusting trump crap. Time for a new look!

as if everyone is on Instagram or tick tock or whatever other social media formats.

Not on any of them myself and I know I'm not alone.

(Which she repeated in 2016 when she was nominated for vice president)

Back in 2009, a reporter for SFGate asked her about the pronunciation in an interview, and she replied, "You are the only person that's ever asked me that. Thank you. Either think of it as 'comma-la' or 'calm-ala.'"

I was one of the ones who had difficulty remembering because at the I had students with similar names who pronounced them very differently (Tamara - syllable emphasis like tomorrow, and Tamala - like Pamela with a T). That suggestion was a very helpful reminder
