The graph of spelling-my-name-wrong annoyance


So I may be revealing my less attractive pedantic side, but oh well. This is something that really gets my proverbial goat. I always try and make sure I'm spelling someone's name right because I know that it's something that annoys people.

Too many times I've sent emails and signed them off as Lizzy (plus my actual name in the address is Lizzy), only to have someone reply cheerily with "Thanks for that Lizzie!" I don't know what I have to do, underline it? Put it in bold? Put flashing lights around it?

It's just laziness. Especially on Facebook when it's RIGHT THERE IN FRIGGING FRONT OF YOU.

OK rant over.
