Yup i get that at uni also. The level of support i get there (had to watch myself on that one 😉) is fantastic and a world away from my schooling in the late 70's and 80's.

Indeed but but but you wouldn't want to read a whole book written that way, would you? Or a long newspaper article. Or even a short newspaper article. Or a long forum post. Or a short forum post. Or anything, really? :dunno:
I read the ninth word of your variant, on its own, as "razorblade". Exactly what I'll be reaching for if there's much more misspelling of Leeann's name.
More to the point why are folk spelling names wrong? Some spellings or relatively common names is hilarious.
I think checking the correct spelling of our own players and management is kind of a sensible and respectful thing to do while finding amusing and rude ways of spelling Hearts players or management is also a sensible but thoroughly disrespectful thing to do 😁
The whole misuse of reflexive personal pronouns 'myself, yourself' is the thing that nips my heid the most, far more than people spelling things wrong. You get it a lot in bank letters, customer relations department emails. Just say 'me' or 'you' :grr:

This site is littered with bad spelling.
Riorden , The guy was an absolute god FFS get his name right !!

:agree:
My surname is relatively unusual and people often assume one spelling which is incorrect rather than the actual spelling, and in fairness I can't blame them, it would be an obvious, if false, assumption. I've had to put up with it as long as I can remember and it doesn't bother me too much.
What it has done though has made me absolutely obsessive and compulsive about spelling other people's names right but also getting the pronunciation right. And I agree, it's just good manners.
