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"
