How big an Adele fan are you?

Well, you can't be that big of a fan, considering you've probably been pronouncing her name wrong this whole time. Don't be embarrassed – us too.

The I Drink Wine singer shared in a recent Q&A the correct way to pronounce her name when a fan actually said it correctly.

"Love that," Adele – read: Uh-Dale – commented. "She said my name perfectly!"

That's right, while you've likely been pronouncing the Grammy-winner's name "Uh-Dell," it's actually "Uh-Dale."

Don't worry, we too were today years old when we learned how to correctly pronounce one of the greatest singers of all time's name.
