I have also been blessed with a first and last name that people, for reasons unknown, cannot seem to spell or say correctly. Like Curtis, I have come to the realization that it really is not a big deal. Additionally, I find it hard to believe that the misplacing of letters can rise to the level of being "disrespectful." I doubt that Curtis, or others who have or will misspelled the "name", would have done so with the intent to disrespect. That just seems silly to me.

Any way, glad that a logged issue has been fixed.
