The post below brought this up again, but I have been thinking about  

it for a long time (nothing personal taken or meant by this, Mike).   

When sending an e-mail, and especially when replying, I see most  

people, including myself, tend to write a person's name based on the  

way it is normally spelled (or the way they think it might be normally  

spelled, as in the case of Jesse/Jessie/Jessi/Jessy - the last 3 of  

which are girl spellings, FYI).  I have found myself writing people's  

names the way I am used to, and then realize I typed it different than  

was on their incoming e-mail.  Just out of curiosity, and I the only  

one that notices this?  It probably bothers me a lot more since Jesse  

is often misspelled (unlike names like Tim, Mike, Tom, etc.).

I have noticed, but not here. I end up getting called Bernie a lot on the phone. The best one was a pizza place that listed me as Bernsmith. Oh well, at least I still got the pizza:)

Actually, I've never thought about it!  I've lived with misspellings all 

my life so it really doesn't bother me.  Most often they spell it with a 

Y instead of an I.  No big deal.  It's kinda fun to rib folks that have 

known me a ling time ..... but just forget to get it right.

I never notice...unless it is my name. 



But it is fun to keep the mystery going....is it a guy or a girl?



My significant other's name is Andee.......and we are of the opposite

sex.....so am I a guy or a girl.



Alternate spellings for my name.

LOL



My fingers have an auto-pilot mode and I catch myself typing sounding

out words while I am typing.  So you never know what you're going to

get.



Sometimes I end up with sentences like this, because they sounded right

when I typed it.



Eye like two fly.  Eye hope ewe dew too.



I usually try to get it correct, but in the haste of typing, reading,

and moving on to the next pressing item - I tend to let a handful of

these errors slip through.

I of course get "Olsen" a lot.  Didn't bother me much before

but the more my name floods the various lists, the more I

would like it to be corrected to the "ON" ending...just

since it'll be accurate at least.



I suppose if I got that wish though, people would just

spell it "Tym Olson". 



I feel for you Jesse, or is it Jesye?

Boy, you guys got it easy.  Sure beats the names I get called. (I can't

repeat them here as this is a family venue.)

You know, it might not be a bad thing.  In a world where employers routinely Google prospects names, at least they won't associate you with that crazy guy Tym Olsen that built his own airplane in his garage.  HA!

I think I notice Tims last name misspelt the most.

I'm running a small wager on the side that we'll one day see every vowel 

used.

I had a disgruntled customer once and it took me a few conversations with 

him to work out why.

His name was Ed Gustavson. I misheard it and used to refer to him as Edgar, 

Stavson. Not good for business.

I get Dunn, Dunnit, Dunny or my favorite from the Asian telemarketers, " Mr 

Dune"
