Peter H Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I read in the rumour thread a funny post by Carlos and mikeO about the spelling of Deulofeu and although I was not bothered by that misspelling there are a lot of typosvwhen it comes to our own players. Im not the best speller in the world and english is not my first language but as a sign of respect for our own players i try to at least get their names right. So which of our own players get misspelled? Ill throw a few in to begin with. Lukaku is not spelled Lakaku Deulofeu is not random vowels inbetween D, l and f (thanks MikeO for that) Pienaar has one R and two A's Mirallas has one R and two L's Distin has two I's and no A's Sorry for having a go but it does really look terrible when we cant spell our own players names. Now saying this, you will probably find thousands of posts from me where I have spelled our players wrong. (Again, this rant is not about spelling in general, just our playes names) Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalziel Kane Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Pedantics running wild once again, although as mentioned, participants whose first language is not english can usually be excused. As an individual with USUALLY immaculate spelling and other grammatical endeavors (damn tablet device can be awkward at the best of times), team player names inclusive, I only need to be concerned with other participants, and even then, how they present themselves, is their business. There was an incident with the club store this year when they made a glaring spell error with one of our new acquisitions, so if they can manage it, just maybe anyone else can be excused. Above all else, there was a recent incident with a national news publication when in large letters on the back page they made the unforgivable error of naming Chelsea ‘Chlesea‘ ! Won't disclose the name of the rag in question - but it was the miserable cunts at the Daily Star. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I once had a manager whose last name was Geisler. Predictive text always changed that to Ghastlier, which led to some embarrassing moments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
