Worst. Misspelling. Of My Name. Ever.

Let me just preface this by saying I have an incredibly long last name which is incredibly hard to spell. Also, I have notoriously bad penmanship. That being said, I still don't think the mailing I just got from the Emelin Theater is right.

 

Can you see my name? No, let me enlarge it for you. And let me also say, other than removing my home address, which you really don't need to see, I made no other alterations to the mailing.

 

The only way this could be more insulting is if they changed the A to an E and the S to a D.

Granted, I could see them thinking my E would look like an F. And I could see how my V might be mistaken for a U. But there is an A between the V and the C which was omitted, possibly on purpose.

Can't wait to call them and inform them of the mistake.

  2. Hmm... I don't know, I can think of a few things worse than Get*intercoursed*... simply changing two letters we could also have:

    Cat*intercourser*

    changing one letter and adding one, we could also have the ever popular:

    Goat*intercourser*

    Hell, just changing the "s" to an "r" gives you special NRA status!

  3. Oh, you can change it to Gatevackes. I insist.

    And thanks for doing so!

    I'd send it to Leno, if I thought it get past the censors!
