I actually find it disrespectful that people don't bother to take note of
details such as getting a name correct.
As an example, my full name is "Christopher Neil Bradley". I went by Chris
until the age of 23 and quit because of the name mutilations that
happened:
Criss
Cris
Kris
Kriss
Khriss
Almost NO ONE got it right. The most common spelling of Chris and everyone
got it wrong. Then I went by Neil:
Niel
Nail
Neal
And "Neal" is the archaic form of Neil (1/10th the commonality)! And how
about my last name:
Bradely
Bradly
Bradlee
Bradley is the most common spelling again and everyone seems to screw it
up. I think people are just getting lazy.
-->Neil
