It amazes me how many people can't or won't spell people's names properly, either they don't realise they are, don't know who they are talking about or are just doing it to pee people off!

Tompkins, Clarke (Daryl) Clark ( Phil), Childs, McGillverey etc

Surely to people who follow the game it's not hard to know who the people within it are called, or to even spell their names correctly.

I'll probably get hung out for this but it' bugs me, enough to see what everyone else's opinions are

I agree meest

You must be really bored this morning...

Not really something ive ever thought about.

Robbie Burrows

Maguire, Burrows, Scrutton,Earl Crabtree.. the list goes on.

Nope not bored just annoyed

The extra s on the end of names gets right on my nerves, just like when people say ASDAs and Tescos.

yes!!

You miserable, grumpy, whiney, whingey 2hat

I blame mobile phone texts

I blame childs

I get the spelling thing to a degree but typos of names is often attributed to other things. Failures in basic grammer are far more frustrating, there/their, of/off, throwing in apostrophe's when not required etc. is more annoying.


Commentators pronouncing names incorrectly is another bugbear.The Hull FC commentator is shocking at it, a recent one was Man Friday when we played Wigan a few weeks back...grrrr.

I hope that was intentional...

The classic.

I hate it when people don't identify people by their full first name, and affect a close even intimate familiarity with the person that is totally unjustified.

Also nobody with or without a glass eye on Sky seems able to pronounce McGillvary (i.e. =#0000FFMac-GIL-varee). Instead they pronounce it "=#0000FFMac-Gil-VRAY". Shocking!

Thought the winky was the giveaway to what I'd said, but yah know it's rl fans so certain subtleties pass people by like the snouted one above highlighting my spelling of grammer (sic) in a thread about spelling, still, there's always next year.

The same way Edward Hemmings continually refers to Hull KRs Italian international winger as Joshua MONTELLATO

The aussie commentators call him "manner-lar-ow"

Who? Eddie Hemmings?

I don't like it either. Most folk aren't too impressed when people misspell or pronounce their own names, so why not offer the same basic courtesy to others, and readers? If you don't know how to spell a name, it only takes a couple of seconds to open another tab, and paste it into Google. Of course, if that's too much trouble...

Sometimes, incredibly, it's the name of their own player, or even coach! What sort of a fan are you, if you don't even know the coach's name?

Someone needs to let E Hemmings know that squoze is not the past participle of the verb to squeeze.

The Sky clowns also mispronounce his name.It should be pronounced Manfreddie.

Btw this thread is about spelling.
