Re: Little things that piss you off
I have no idea how they can get it so wrong. I can understand Katy cos that is another variation, but some of the versions are just mindblowingly stupid.
I also hate people who call me Katherine, Kaitlynn or anything like that. You'd be surprised how often people just assume my name is shortened (it's not) then wonder why I'm not responding when they are calling me Katherine.
When I was 11 I had a massive argument with a supply teacher who was trying to tell me my name is a shortened version of Katherine, so my name must be Katherine. Wtf?
And then again when I was 14, a teacher phoned up my parents to tell them Katherine had not been in school for a week and when my mum said my name was Katie and not Katherine, the teacher had a massive go at my mum for not knowing her own daughter's name.
How can people spell a simple name like that wrong?People always spell mine without the second 'e', so they'll spell it the American way - Kimberly. When my name is the Australian spelling - Kimberley :cool Some people even spell my last name wrong. It's Gordon, not Gordan or Gorden. Does my name really sound like 'Gor-dann'?
