What is so hard about spelling my name?

[Evil Queen]

I know your name.

[Jester]

I have this problem with my real first name. It is one that has a fewl common spellings, and several uncommon spellings, and though mine is the most common and the easiest, people are constantly fucking it up! It drives me nuts.

The funny part is a shortened version of my first name only has one spelling. ONE! And yet twice in my life, people have asked me how to spell THAT! (Yes, they were both idiots.)

[Evil Queen]

My real last name is Polish*.

Enough said.

In ethnicity, not literally.

[lupo pazzesco]

I would think lupo meant wolf (canis lupis) and pazzesco would be something else?

lupo does mean wolf. pazzesco is roughly translated to insane or crazy. I dunno. Been a long time since my poppi talked in Italian, and my mom never really picked up the language, being raised in the states.

but put it together, with proper syntax and whatnot in Italian, and it means crazy/insane wolf. (A play on my germanic last name...)

People misspell my real name all the time.

It's not that hard.

[lupo pazzesco]

you wanna know the funny thing? You use loco, spanish for crazy to sub my name, when in reality, my s/n is italian, roughly translating to "crazy wolf" I is amused.

you know, locco pazzesco... this could make an interesting forum game... misspell the person above you's name (hey, you told me to carry on)

[lupo pazzesco]

Now children...behave...

Or, you know, keep it up! I could always use a good giggle in the mornings.

Yes, actually, scratch the earlier admonition. Carry on!

I guess I deserve that one Drager

[draggar]

OK SmellyEagle.

I'm sorry... did you say that was spellt D-R-A-G-G-E-R... I couldn't quite hear you

sorry, it was too easy a shot to not take it

[draggar]

It's DRAGGAR

D-R-A-G-G-A-R

It's not Dragger, it's not Drigger, it's not Digger. It's Draggar.

Even people on forums that I've known for years still spell it Dragger.

Maybe I should start misspelling their names.
