marianmi Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I thought it would be fun to start a topic for everyone here to write the names they've seen spelled wrongly Especially if the wrong spelling is fun! So here I am the first: * Sly * Shallon * Seth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mailliw73 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Autocorrect always changes Kaladin to paladin. Tvlakv is a interesting one and Rock's real name, Hundusnsjsdjdnssjdjdj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartbug Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I always write Hoid as Hoed, and then laugh, though I wouldn't be surprised if there was a grain of truth in the mispronunciation. Elokar, I do also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj26792 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 most definitely Galivar for some reason not gonna lie every time I type Gavilar it comes out Galivar and I have to go back and correct it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoser Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Yes! And Jasnah can write about Galivar's travels. At least it doesn't change it to Gilligan, lest we never get anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rooster Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Is a native of Roshar a Rosharan or a Rosharian? Because I've been using both to hedge my bets. Whatever it is I've been spelling it wrong half of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAgain Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Our ill-fated, jam-loving ardent always comes out "Kasbal" in my mind. The most egregious of mine was in Mistborn, "Tidwyndle." But Taravangian? Nailed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marianmi Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 But Taravangian? Nailed it. That's why I prefer to write Mr. T Don't have to check if I spelled it right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinpoint Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Wow, it is surprising how many names I actually got right for how fast I breezed over them. I breezed over Taravangian a little too fast though and I never really decided how I thought it sounded until I actually read the name and payed attention to it. it was always T*****v*****g*****=old king who hires assasins Edited December 17, 2013 by Pinpoint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
