I used to lie to myself and be afraid of taking space (I still do though). A form of that was being "chill and cool" when people misspell my name on emails. Especially my first name. But today I am actually furious. But still, I am afraid of being firm and correcting such obvious thing.
@anarodrigues 10000%
Back in the day I had a colleague who is a WRITER who always spelled my name âElanaâ đ€Ź I subtly corrected her but I was never direct, sigh

@anarodrigues As someone with unusual spelling / pronunciation of both first and last names, I feel the same way. The worst is when names are still misspelled even after being corrected.

@anarodrigues Thatâs kind of infuriating, but email is also such an awkward platform for corrections, I get not wanting to bring it up on the main thread.
My momâs name has an uncommon spelling, seeing so many people misspell it growing up turning me into a stickler (though Iâll bet I made an honest mistake somewhere along the way)

@anarodrigues People call me or refer to me as âAudreyâ maybe 85% of the time and I always, always feel like shit when I have to correct them. But no, I want them to get my name right!

@tylersticka Oh I am certain I've made an honest mistake too. When my phone is set with Portuguese keyboard, words and names sometimes get changed automatically too and I may miss that.
aww I feel for your mum. -
