[quote=Anonymous]It’s not that you’re unimportant, OP. It’s that they are self-important and can’t be bothered to spell your name correctly. I also have a name that is popular in my age group though I have the alternative spelling. People constantly spell it wrong. Even my best friend of 20 years spelled it wrong once, and acted like she had never been told otherwise. They also shorten my name, which I don’t like, but they never ask. I never know how to respond. Sometimes, especially if it’s the first time a person has contacted me, I just ignore. If someone does it constantly, I will point it out, but the person invariably treats me like I’m crazy for wanting them to spell my name correctly. While I know they’re just deflecting because they feel stupid, it still makes me reluctant to call people out. Just keep reminding yourself you’re not the a-hole here.[/quote]
