say you want someone to pronounce a name phonetically, but the name is in the middle of the block of dialogue, where do you enter the parenthetical without it breaking it up too much.
Like for instance, I'll just make something up. Let's use Patrick Roy, who of course pronounces his last name "Waa," but the character calls him Roy as in "Roy Rogers."
"I'm a huge hockey fan, Patrick Roy is my favorite player of all time."
Would it go like this?
that doesn't look right. Am I overthinking this?
