A: I appear to be dressed like I'm reporting from Afghanistan?B: My self-imposed slouch is in full effect because even sitting down, I hate being tall? Or is it
C: "Spots" on a dog, "Wood" on a tree. It's a compound word, folks.
Do people always screw up your totally uncomplicated name? And if so, does it drive you nuts? Because I'm kinda used to it.
My father on the other hand..."SPOTwood? Jesus Christ!"

My first thought, trying to make out *someone's* face through the static, was "Isn't it SPOTS?"
Welcome to the club Ms. Spot-Forest (it's hyphenated, yes?)

The worst is when someone sends me an email that starts, "Hey Allen." I mean, my name is IN my email ADDRESS, so you HAVE to get it right once in order for the email to reach me. So you get it right once and then IMMEDIATELY get it wrong in your greeting? Gaaah!
Oh you're too hard on yourself -- you look adorable. I was mortified that Sugarman botched your name though -- both orally and in writing.
A. You look marvelous.
B. Excellent soundbite! It's all about the bites.
C. Send Mike Sugarsman the bill. Yes, SUGARS-man. I'm going to give him so much grief!
D. Where is Mel?
E. Where is Willis?
Many emails to me start this way:
Hi Britaney!!
My mother misspelled my name, I can't expect other people to get it right.
Sorry they screwed yours up. Glad they got it fixed for round 2 at 6 p.m. Even though Sugarsman's pronunciation was still botched.
