When someone misspells you name and it's really obvious that it's wrong what is you normal response?

I mean how do you get from Brown to Bronkin?

I just correct the spelling for them. Maybe they didn't hear you well or something. It really doesn't bother me...... There are a lot more important things in life to get worked up about. Philosophy for life: "If it isn't going to matter in ten years, it's not that important now."

Just correct them, politely. As you will see on this site (and others) spelling is apparently not a big priority these days.

Don't waste your time, most people practice "Selective Autism" and your correction will go in one ear and out the other one.
