Exempli Gratia: "Jason Morrella" not "Jason Morella"

Maybe I’m being too nitpicky, but can there be some sort of instructional sticky or autocorrecting script added to CD to correct “Morella” with “Morrella” when referring to that one guy on the West Coast who is a FIRST Regional Director, and Krispy Kreme doughnut freak? I mean this both in fun and kind of seriously. I mean… I wouldn’t like it if people kept misspelling my name when it’s out there for everyone to see, it's his username.

I can understand a few people making the mistake, but this post was prompted by what I thought was a disproportionate amount of misspellings (even by people who know him). If I were him, it would just irk me the same way it irks me when people call me William instead of Bill.

“That’s not my name” is how I would respond. I know Jason is too nice a guy, not wanting to possibly hurt peoples’ feelings over the spelling of his name, to bring this up if he felt this way, which is why I’m doing this on behalf of all people who have their names inexplicably misspelled on these boards.
