Yes and I was blamed for not a few of your faus pas too.

  I have one of the first computer generated Calls, it was certainly a mouthful until I moved almost completely to digital, so I commiserate with your problems.

  My first callsign was vk2zsx and for a while I was communicating with
  vk2zxs. That combination made for a mouthful. Sitting the morse and
  becoming vk2bvo was quite a blessing.

    I wouldn't recommend the letter combination, and not for the reasons
    you are thinking.
    Try saying VK2XSE repetitively, which has been mine for 22 years, and
    you will be keen to use packet radio instead.
    Before that I had VK4YIA and that is also unpronounceable.
