Re: Proper Spelling of team or people's names
My high school team (93) is the NEW Apple Corps. It's pronounced "New Apple Core" (like, an apple core ... get it?) but it's still spelled "Corps". And yes, "NEW" is capitalized - not to put emphasis on the word, but because it's an acronym standing for North, East, West (the three high schools that participate).
Now I'm on Superior Roboworks. It's not Superior Robotworks, Super Roboworks or even Super Robotworks! For simplicity, we just call ourselves The Yetis. And my name ... Katie Reynolds. It's not: Kati Kate Katy Katee Kadee Kady Caite Caty Cady Katheryn Katherine Catherine Catheryn ... it's just Katie, like it says on my birth certificate. In high school, I was at a job interview and the interviewer looked at my application and said, "Sorry, you need to put your full, given name here." and pointed to the spot where I had written "Katie L. Reynolds". I told him it was my full name and he said, "No no - what does your birth certificate say?" I told him it said exactly what I wrote. He said, "Your parents named you Katie? Not Katherine or Kathy or ..." He just wouldn't believe that my given name was Katie! And my last name is not: Renolds Rynolds Raynolds Rinolds ... it's just Reynolds. ![]() Last edited by Katie Reynolds : 05-02-2007 at 09:23. |
