[QUOTE="Richards, post: 1097666, member: 508"] Believe it or not, those clever lads at the Klingon Language Institute must have heard this old joke, because the official Klingon word for fish is now ghotI'. I kid you not. On the pronunciation front, nobody ever mispronounces my name, but I get my first name spelled wrong all the time. I've seen the following permutations: Jonathan Jonhathan Jonathon Johnathen Jonathin Back when I was in college, I once had a paycheck come to me made out to "Jonathan Richards." I filled out a form to correct the spelling, and the next time it was made out to "Johnathan Richardson." I thought that was bad enough, but the next paycheck was made out to "Richard Johnson." Finally got it straightened out after a month of effort. I also had a PDF I had written accidentally attributed to "Joseph Richards." Ironically, I have a brother named Joseph, but the guys in charge of the PDF didn't know that. Johnathan <---"John" and "Nathan" fused at the "n" like conjoined twins [/QUOTE]
