 Why do people always mess up my name? 😭 nostr:note18emxu2k56ccel6wk9a5806dtytdp79v26kfecf26829kalczfztse3fj3p 
 That’s how Americans say “Marie”😂 
 lol my bad 🤣 
 Keep doing it. It’s funny 😂 
 Lol 🤣 
 It’s not, I’ve heard you say my name 😜 
 Yes, but I have been trained well by all the Aussies. 

I pronounced bevo’s name as “beevo” back in the day 😂 and companion always fucks up and says Mary 🤣 
 @Companion 😭 
 Aye we ain't here to fuck spiders mate 
 That’s right mate 
 Blame the autocorrect

 I just listened to it. @ODELL asked great, legitimate questions. Loved their humility and love for the plebs. Pure signal. 
 Listening right now 
 I am so sorry Marie  
 Apology accepted, thanks new friend 🫂 
 Thanks definitely dont need to be getting on new friends bad sides lol this early in the relationship on here 🫣😃 
 My name is Glen.

For the longest time, I have had people misspell my name as Glenn.  So much so that I started introducing myself when meeting someone in-person as, "Hi.  My name is Glen.  I'm a one-n Glen."

Recently one of my closest friends sent me a text message.  In the message he said something like, "Hi Glenn.  How's it goin?".  I couldn't believe it.  Here's a friend who I've had for many years, and has been with me many times when I know he's heard me introduce myself to others with my "I'm a one-n Glen" weird opening line.  I know he knows that I'm annoyed when people misspell my name.  Why would he, I wondered, so I asked him.

He said he sends text messages by speaking them into his smartphone and that's what it typed.  He didn't notice it before he sent it.

So that would be my guess...? 
 Wow, that makes sense now.
Thanks for sharing this Glen-with-one-N 😂💜🫂 
 ^ 
 I always forget the “The” part. Sorry. 
 And so you should be 🤣🤣💜💜

 "No, it's Ryan, not Brian"

 “It’s Marie not Maria!” 😜 always in emails do people miss the ‘e’ at the end? 
 I thought your name was Marty up until 5 mins ago, can't believe it  
 It can be if you want Oliver 😜

 You deserved that one 🤣🤣💜💜 
 Nawww. I'm always called Melanie by mistake. 

Melanie. Melissa. Melanie doesn't even have an s in it. 😅🤣 

Most Aussies just drop the entire last half of my name entirely. Mel. Kinda manly, but whatever 🤣 
 Us Aussies always like to shorten our words 🤣 
 "Hey Tony... Toby?...What's your name again?" 
 I can sympathise 🫂 
 I think Americans can't say "Muh-rie" 
 Yes!! They do 💜
