You think that is bad? One reason for me having an alia on-line is because my name gets so mispronounced and even mispelled that it drives me crazy. Martin Graney, FYI. As I live in the Netherlands Martin very often gets spelled Maarten or even Maartijn. i.e. Dutchified. Although the Dutch rarely mispronounce or mispell my surname. However from the English, as my surname is Irish and unusual, I see a regular mispronunciation of 'granney' [an addition of an extra n], and misspellings of "Gradey", "Gravey" and even "Groaney" :-( I have been known to shout, "Look it is bloody simple. The e changes the aah sound into an ayyy sound. So it is grey-knee. Like the colour and the bendy thing half way down my leg that will soon join voilently with the loose collection of dangly objects between yours!" I have acutally given up. I make reservations using my first name. And I use an alias on the interweb.
