I get so irrationally upset about this man’s name. Like to the point where I will not watch anything with him in it. It is everything that is wrong with the English language.

I will die on this hill.

BTW it would be Seen Bean or Shawn Bawn.

Sean is an Irish name though. It is spelt Seán in Irish iirc. The e makes the s soft, the accent on a makes the e silent. Irish spelling does make sense once you learn the system.

I will not be swayed by your understanding of regional dialects and logic.

Oooh but Irish is not a regional dialect of English, it's a different language. Gotcha!

Based on my inability to understand half of what was said during my time there, I don’t refute your claims.

What would happen if you accidentally watch something that has him in it?

vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 317d

Anarchy. Bedlam. Cars and dogs living together in harmony.

At least he tried to keep his head in the game.

I've always been a fan of "Seen Bean" myself.

Sean, Shawn, Shaun, Jean, Shon, Shawne

It's all the same. It comes from John and sounds like John.

Btw did he change his name or is Sean Bean only his stage name? I see that he was born Shaun Bean. Well, Shaun Mark Bean but who cares about a middle name that isn't used.

NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 319d

Yeah he uses the Irish spelling for work because of how it looks.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 318d

Hasn't aged a day. Because he died at the end of act 1

That one guy who always pronounced the e in Sharpe.

Chais@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 317d (1 reply)

Did he pronounce sharpy like the dog breed?

NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 317d

Yep. I have a theory that another Sean Bean character has to die for every time Richard Sharpe got run through or shot and survived it.

One of my friends from Uruguay told me that in spanish his name is pronounced Juan Poroto.
