When Dante got home, he flung his briefcase so hard against the wall that it flew back at him. “Tell me something,” he said “Am I intense?”
“Intense? No, you are not intense, why?”
“Because my vice principal thinks I am. Asshole Ev. I got my evaluation today – three ‘need improvements’ He says I’m too intense”
“It’s like – their whole philosophy of education at that school is fucked up” He looked over at me, accusingly “I mean, Ev Downs (vice principal) has sat on his ass parked in neutral for twenty-five years. I’m the only one at the whole goddamn school the kids can relate to and I’m going to sit there and listen to him make it sound like I’ve got a fucking personality disorder?”

What does it mean by “took extra pains with its pronunciation”?
