[quote=Anonymous]I'm not a stickler for spelling - it doesn't bother me when I read message boards such as this one or even Facebook and see all the typos. One misspelling that constantly baffles me, however, is the misspelling of Dr. Seuss. I can tell people aren't doing typos when they misspell it and on the one hand, I understand why they spell it incorrectly since it sounds like it should be spelled that way. But on the other hand, his name is all over the place. I see people making the spelling mistake even though they should know better (I've seen it spelled wrong outside the internet. I've seen schools make the mistake. I've seen other people who work with kids make the mistake). We've all seen his name a gazillion times even if we are not directly focusing our attention on the spelling of his name, shouldn't at least sub-consciously his spelling have sunk into our brains? It's Dr. Seuss, not Dr. Suess.[/quote]
