Proper Spelling of team or people's names
 
If your team has a name that is not so ordinary or you have a member that has a not so ordinary name, please post their names here. I have noticed there is a mass misspelling of some "house-hold FIRST names" such as, Woody Flowers instead of Woodie Flowers. So please post your teams proper spelling here so people will spell it correctly.

My teams name it the Technokats...with a K not a C :)
other names I have to add are
Woodie Flowers
Dean Kamen

Who else has a unique team name?

My mom cant seem to grasp the concept of Robotix.

She made a few signs for the team this year with spellings of: Robotixs, and Robitix.

R.A.G.E. technically, although we may not always type it that way, it is actually an acronym for Robotics And Gadget Engineering

As for me, my name is Lisa.....Rodriguez....so many ways to spell it, best time was when the told the airline the wrong spelling (after my brother had been on the team 4 years, and my 2nd w/ a one year overlap)

Misplacing a K with a C isn't too bad.

I guess we're lucky--there's only so many ways to type "D5 Robotics," and all of them still look somewhat right.

Leverette, on the other hand...(faints)

Here in yak-town (Pontiac), we spell Huskie without the y. Don't know why, but thats the way we have kept it even though its maybe not correct.

People can never spell my name.

Dorienne Plait.

Not Doriene, not Dorie, not Dory, not Dora, not Doreen, etc...

And it's not Platt, Plaitt, Plate, Plat, or any other funky name you come up with.

My last name is always gets misspelled...Alvarado. I have seen it Alvrdo, Alvorodo, Alvorado, Elverado, and the list could go on. And my real name (not nickname) Stephen is said like Stefen not Steven.

For some strange reason, people always seem to spell my last name incorrectly. I'm not really sure why.

No one ever knows how to spell or pronounce Hauppauge.

Pronounce it 'Hop*Ogg' or 'Hoppog' or 'Hop*Pog' or 'Hopog', not 'Hop pow gee' nor 'How pow gee'
Spell it 'HAUPPAUGE'

Oh and another thing, team 71 is Team Hammond not Beatty. And it is spelled Beatty for all those that spell it something like Baty.
