this doesn't work well since "Sha" is pronounced differently from "Shake"

Then it works even better to highlight the dichotomy.

Like you see "William Sha" and your mind fills in either kspeare or tner.

When you see "William Sha", you mentally pronounce "Sha" as "Sh" or "Sh", not "She". You're already filling it in with a vowel that sounds much more like that in Shatner than in Shakespeare, so you'll associate the blanks with him more readily

oh thank god, someone else here knows ipa
where are you in all the topics where people are like "omg do you say cah-ramel" or "care-amel" or "ca-ramel" and no one realizes that the shit they're typing doesn't actually make any sense or that dialects exist
You guys are weird. This topic is fine.
Incidentally, neither Shatner nor Shakespeare sounds like Sha unless you pronounce it Shaa rather than Shah.

I thought you were implying that shatner had died today.
Scared the crap out of me.

do you guys not realize that by saying "sha doesn't sound like either" you're saying that "sha" on its own has a distinct sound, whether you agree with sha being as shatner or not
the point is that sound representation biases the choice so that you're not actually doing a "shakespeare vs shatner"
"Sha" doesn't sound like Shakespeare or Shatner so I don't see the issue here
.That said I voted Shakespeare and am kinda floored I'm in such a small minority. Shatner's just not nearly as relevant to me.

Brain autocompleted it to Shakespeare. But mostly because....

Or you could just treat it as a word puzzle rather than a sound puzzle. Especially since not everyone subvocalizes when they read.
