It's right there in my goddamn email. Sean. Not shaun. Not shawn. Not shoun, or whatever insane stuff you can invent. [email protected]. That's my fucking name. it's right there in my email signature too. I pointedly signed off "regards, sean", so you would take notice.

How can you spell it differently every time but never correctly? Is this some perverse power play?

My name is not actually sean. But the scenario holds.

Get a hard-to-spell last name that almost no one in the entire country has and then get back to me.

I got plenty of coworkers that do. I just copy and paste. People spell my name wrong all the time in emails and I just do not get it.

At a party. These 3 people came in, each one asked me what my name was. After telling them, they responded with the wrong name back and I corrected. By the 3rd person I just said "sure" when they responded back with the wrong name.
