Apropos of Nothing

[penmage]

I really hate it when people misspell my name.

It's not a common name. It's unusual, I know, and even the people who share it with me spell it differently than I do. I can excuse it to a degree. If you've just met me, or if you've never seen it written down, or only write my name down infrequently, whatever, I don't care.

BUT. My professional email address is firstname.lastname@gmail.com. Is it SO HARD to realize that I spell my name like the first half of said email address when you're emailing me? Or, when you've known me for a really long time, and had opportunity to see me write my name and spell my name many times, is it so hard to spell it right?

It's totally unjustified, but it seriously pisses me off.

Oh, I'm a Mc...and nothing pisses me off more than when people don't capitalize the second capital letter in my name.

Yeah, I know all about that. O' here.

I guess at least I don't have the ' but still. My boss did my first set of business cards for me, and in my email address she didn't capitalize my next letter. Will the emails still get to me? Yes, but these were my first business cards ever! I did my own reorder and it's fixed :)
