Question of the Day - Friday, May 23rd, 2025

[JacinLarkwell]

Today's question is from @Shabby Chic-Hens:

Yes.

My last name always has the S dropped, even on things like paychecks. I've stopped bothering to say anything though because it never is corrected

 

[fowltemptress]

Yes, and I violently resent it.

 

[The Moonshiner]

Larkwell is supposed to have a s in it?
Where? Larkswell?

 

[Pampered chicken girl]

No, but I'm often called nicknames of my name without consent

 

[sourland]

No for me. The Princess on the other hand -----------

 

[tripletfeb]

Yes. And I have no idea why. Your Highness isin't hard to spell at all

 

[AntiqueB]

When I was a kid, there was a popular baseball player whose last name was the same as mine, plus an extra R: Steve Garvey. No one ever got it right. They still don't.

 

[500Chickens]

yes

 

[muddy75]

Yes

 

[notabitail]

Yes. All too often. Or misremembered, even worse.
