[Charliebball]

as someone whose last name has been constantly misspelled from a young age I stopped worrying about it by the age of eleven.........

And "then/than", "lose/loose", "Stanford/Stamford"...

You left out to/too.

You left out to/too.

Don't forget their/there/they're

I am sure people will continue to misspell athletes names. Here on the boneyard people spell Dolson's name Stephanie instead of Stefanie and she was one of the most popular players at UConn her 4 yrs.

Really? How hard is it to spell “cat?”

Like Krazy Kat?

Don't forget their/there/they're

Caroline has been called Carolyn a number of times.

Don't presume pronunciation from spelling. My daughter's name is Caroline, pronounced "Carolyn".

If I had a dollar for every time someone has called me "Susan" instead of my real name, "Suzanne," I could buy Amazon from Jeff Bezos.

People aren’t misspelling Dorka’s name. E.g. Dorca, they’re calling her completely different names like Jorka.

Ducharme's first name is not pronounced "Carolyn". I was referring to her, not presuming anything.

My comment was not directed at you; just a general observation.

 

[Zanzman]

My last name is now a common first name and people spell and pronounce it wrong always leave out a syllable

The comedian Brian Regan uses those two names in a bit about forgetting and pronouncing names, using the pronunciation from Caroline per the spelling.

His word play routines are classic.

So when does Borka get to campus?

Maybe they are subconsciously thinking of Nikas dad name (Darka) so they are thinking it can't sound the same. Didn't say that right, but you should get what I mean.

 

[meyers7]

Posters on here all always calling me meyers or @meyers7 , instead of meyers7.

You are making someone's point. Nika's dad is Darko.

Ahhh cat herding. Many years ago, during a time of lots of cat fighting on the yard (I know, hard to believe) I made this video from a commercial that was around at the time.

That was hysterical from start to finish, but the single best moment is Fishy’s
falsetto “it weren’t so bad.”

Norm Crosby would resemble this thread.

Still gritting my teeth over variations of Christyn and Aaliyah

And Napheesa.

Leo Gorcy who played in the old Dead End Kids and Bowery Boys series, was a master of malaprops, mispronunciations, and name mangling. He would be an emeritus member of the Boneyard had he survived his death.

Not Jorka or Dorkas, it’s Dorka. I’m seeing all kinds of spellings, maybe some autocorrect? But her name is

Dorka Juhász​

If I'm not mistaken, which I may be, the "sz" should be pronounced "sh". So You-hash. Right?

 

[eebmg]

The most important thing is not to forget the "a"
