you know what grinds my gears? how my coworkers are literally unable to write peoples names correctly so the outlook search becomes completely and utterly unusable. this shit matters! mohamed is not muhammed is not mohamad is not muhamed is not mohammed!!!! husein is not hussein is not hosein is not hossein!!!

this shit even happens at national level with the most important government departments. there have been soooo many people whose names are written wrong on their id or their social security card or their health insurance card. why does nobody care!!! come on!!!!

#and yes i understand the billion different spellings of names like that are partly due to originally being written in a different language #and then somebody assigning it some spelling #like my last name in russian was 3 letters #but some government worker in germany added a 4th letter for some reason #or one of my classmates had her first name completely butchered when she immigrated here #and i only learned that halfway thru high school #weve all been calling her the wrong name and she didnt correct any of us???#mainly because she spend most of her school yrs correcting teachers and nobody gave a fuck
