WTFs of the day

[maradydd]

Now, I know my first name isn't easy to spell if you've only heard it spoken, mostly because of all the schwas. In the past I've gotten Merideth, Meridith, Meradith, and a variety of other interesting misspellings.

Today, however, is the first time I've ever gotten a package addressed to Maradeath Patterson.

Also, the convenience store in my yuppie-hell apartment complex now sells hookahs. And the flavoured molasses tobacco to go with them. No, I didn't buy one, but I did pick up some of those fast-lighting charcoal blocks to use with the various kinds of resin incense I have lying around.

Oh, I empathize completely. Were I to have a nickel for every time my name has been both mis-spelled and mis-pronounced (both first and last), I would have enough to set up several charitable scholarships and a few endowments.

It makes me think there should be a poem, Maradeath Comes for the Archibishop.
