"Anthony, Erikson and Christiano"

[Kanu]

How hard is it to spell their names correctly? Eriksen has played in the PL for like most of his career and is under contract now at United, yet still a feck ton of people here can't spell his name. Why is that? Surely it can't be that difficult?

Grate thread, this.

 

[Pronewbie]

Then why did you misspell their names

 

[AndySmith1990]

Who cares? People make spelling mistakes all the time. If you know what they mean then what does it matter

Football fans don’t automatically qualify as good spellers.

I agree with this, except for people's names. If someone doesn't spell my name correctly I will correct them. If I have to do that often I'll be annoyed at the very least.

An Antony, Eriksen and Cristiano by any other name would smell as sweet

Thank you. Although some can weasel out the 'Anthony' one by saying they meant Elanga or Martial.

Can forgive them for Eriksen and Antony but Cristiano he's been at the top since 2006.

Who cares how people spell there names. Nothing to loose sleep over.

Let's not forget our captain McGuire

Are Erikson Christiano or Anthony really reading the forum to be ofended?

I saw "mactommany" on Twitter the other day, cracked me up

My favorite one is Mpabbe, though

 

[Fabio Rochemback]

It doesn't bother me as such, but it can be hard to take someone's opinion on a player all that seriously if they can't spell their name (unless it's Tomasz Kuszczak)

You spelled all their names incorrectly in the title… you’re not exactly setting a good example.

Hence the quotation marks.

Maguire is another one. I’ve seen Maquire, MacGuire, McGuire, and Fridge.

 

[Eyepopper]

Sir Alec would approve of this thread.

And it's "complement" not "compliment".

Personally, I'm disappointed you don't call him Quagmire by now.

People calling Mike Smalling Chris was a weird typo.

You spelled it wrong as well in the title. Bite

I can understand Anthony and Erikson, but god damn Christiano? really? he's like the joint most famous player from the last 20 years. From some one who's a premier league fan, a manchester united fan and interested enough in football to be part of a forum you'd expect him to know its Cristiano.

 

[FatTails]

Best was Lingaard actually. Not even a foreign player. Been at the club since he was 5.

 

[Red Stone]

I swear every time I see Eriksen's name it's a brand new spelling, but never the correct one. Erikson, Eriksson, Erickson, Ericksson, Erickxon, Ericksen, Erixxon Valdez, Erichson, Erickhsen. It almost feels like some sort of inside joke that I'm not in on by now.

Cassamiro. Verane. Erikson.

Might even have been the same guy doing all three, actually. At which point you have to assume it's intentional for some bizarre reason.
