Misspelling names, I could probably get a former co-worker to provide a list of at least 14 ways Canada can be misspelled and it only uses 4 unique letters.

Those don't grate on me nearly as much as changing my name.

Thanks Jase
You're complaining?
You know how many ways there are to misspell either a 4-letter name or a 4-letter nickname (which, incidentally, are same letters, different spelling)

I've seen them butcher your name too. And I would be quite annoyed at that as well. A simple mistake like swapping the rank with the user name or alias is sort of pardonable.

However, If you can only get the name partially correct - that is extreme annoyance.

Some of that is QOD. But I don't think he gets much sleep at night either.

Okay, it's getting mighty deep in here. Time to get the hippo to clear out the tent! 😛

I might be getting deep, but after 6 hrs of silence at least something got it moving again.
