Thank you all

Hi michelle, i have signed you up for section 9, thank you for claiming
There is no delay in updating the forum. There are numerous things that can go wrong in the connection of course, but generally speaking all messages are visible to anyone instantly. Im just pointing this out to make sure you dont start changing your processes based on this assumption

Okay, I'll blame it on Cox, my service provider. They get blamed for so much anyway.Carolin wrote: ↑April 23rd, 2018, 9:47 amHi michelle, i have signed you up for section 9, thank you for claiming

And there is nothing I can do about it but submit my posts based on what I see and if there is overlap, it will work out soon enough.
And please note the French spelling of my name, Michele with one 'l'. It's the British spelling with two 'll's, popularized by the Beatle song "Michelle, Ma Belle", that has everyone misspelling my name. I bet you get Carolyn and Caroline a lot, too.

Section 9 has been uploaded. I did my best to speak with the author's conviction, despite disagreeing with his point 100%, which goes something like: "Free speech about any and all aspects or viewpoints of God are permitted, but you are forbidden to speak freely about not believing in God."

Thanks. It shouldn't matter, but a person's name is their identity and nowadays there are so many foreign names and unusual spellings to watch out for. What bothers me most is when I apply for something where you fill in the boxes, one box per letter, and I clearly print M I C H E L E . . . . . then when I get my invoice or first bill, it invariably says MICHELLE. And my brother Orlando misspells my name with two l's. So, bad me, I misspell his name Orllando.
So far, he doesn't seem to notice.

My name is frequently misspelled also. The number of times I get things addressed to Kristen instead of Kristin annoys me. It's especially annoying via email when you have to spell my name right to get my email address to work, so you'd think it wouldn't be so hard to do spell it correctly 1 inch further down the screen.msfry wrote: ↑April 29th, 2018, 9:26 amThanks.

~ Kristin
Well, Kristin, I'm an old fart, graduated high school in 1964. And I well remember taking multiple choice tests where a long list of people or company names was followed by 3 names almost alike, and you had to pick out the one that is spelled exactly right. I took the same type of tests when applying for jobs at NASA, and General Electric, and my notary commission. At my first secretarial job, I remember having to re-type a whole letter when the boss discovered I had misspelled a word. Misspelled words were never allowed out the building, as they reflected poorly on the company's ability to perform! Proper names were considered sacred. It was excellent training for attention to detail . . . . . alas very poor training for tolerance.MrsHand wrote: ↑May 1st, 2018, 5:38 am My name is frequently misspelled also.

Michele and Kristin:
I share your situation with respect to your name misspelling. I have a solution of sorts for Michele, but it obviously won't work for Kristin (sorry). Several years ago, I was in a position in which I was routinely covered in the local newspaper. A local reporter (who, in fairness,) was justifiably obsessed with correct spelling, would ask after every article, "Did I get it right this time?" And invariably she did not.
Finally in mock exasperation, I told her, "If you don't get the "L" out of my name, I'll not answer any more of your questions." She never missed it again.
Just passing by.....
Philip
(If one "l" doesn't get it done for you, why stop with just two, why not three or four?)

Back after 8/15. In the hands of the medicos.
I do a monthly newsletter for a large active club, sprinkled with articles, photos, captions and lists of volunteers who helped with each project. I can attest that even to this day, disappointment when one's name is misspelled, or left out, or a fact gotten wrong, is still alive and well! I don't even know most of the members, so I make sure every article is proofed by the author and the President before I publish.
At the same time, it is almost impossible to know the correct spelling of anyone's name anymore. With so many foreign names coming along these days and everyone's desire to distinguish their identity, it's no longer David, Susan, Emily, Bob. But you better not leave off the e of my sister in law, Carole, or confuse her with my other sister in law, Carolyn, or their daughters Harmonie and Melynda.
Philip, Kristin, we either hold the line, or let it go. I'm holding on for now but fear it's a losing battle. Spell checker can only do so much.
