Title: Dwyane gets the Starbucks treatment
Post by: barfolomew on August 09, 2016, 01:02:23 PM: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chicagoinc/ct-starbucks-misspells-dwyane-wade-name-20160809-story.html

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.

I think he got in his assistant's car for the pic, so he can look like us commoners.

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.

I'm not particularly handsome, but a cow? What an insult!!!

On a side note, his kids will get very bored playing 1-on-1 against Emmanuel Lewis.
