Marquette does not emerge from this article unscathed, but at least we are the ultimate comparator (EVEN Marquette got it wrong!).
Good thing the author didn't search through MUScoop threads...

Let's be fair here. Unless he was pulling the "Do you know who I am?" thing, he shouldn't be surprised his name was spelled that way unless he made a point of spelling it out after he gave the barista his name. Having a first name that most people spell wrong, I speak from experience.

My name is also spelled wrong most of the time. I've been used to it as long as I could spell it myself.

My parents decided to go with the traditional Jewish spelling of my name, just one letter off from the common spelling. Luckily the nickname is easy enough.

Only if he has a sponsorship deal....
I'm getting sick and tired of so many people spelling my name MOO82.
I'm not particularly handsome, but a cow? What an insult!!!

I've seen 7 different phonetic spellings of my first name and have heard my name read 4 different ways. I feel his pain.
