marianmi Posted December 17, 2013 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
Mailliw73 he/him Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Autocorrect always changes Kaladin to paladin. Tvlakv is a interesting one and Rock's real name, Hundusnsjsdjdnssjdjdj 1
bartbug he/him Posted December 17, 2013 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.
Botanica she/her Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Oh I often get Syl's full name wrong... such as Sylpherena or something (Sorry Syl)
Joe ST he/him Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 most definitely Galivar for some reason
dj26792 he/him Posted December 17, 2013 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.
hoser he/him Posted December 17, 2013 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.
The Rooster he/him Posted December 17, 2013 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.
cem he/him Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 It's Rosharan. Also there's Scadrian, Selish and Nalthian. 1
Aether he/him Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 I only learned yesterday that Elokhar is not the correct spelling.
JoeAgain he/him Posted December 17, 2013 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
marianmi Posted December 17, 2013 Author 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...
Pinpoint he/him Posted December 17, 2013 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
