let's get technical.....

ok, so the discussion at the dinner table turned to the invitation.......and then my spouse posed the question to the table.....who knows how to spell mamma's given name.........yes.....one out of 2 present knew that my name is not kathy, but kathlyn........not kathryn because a ill-favored aunt might think i was named after her.....a point of trivia.....kathlyn is the name of both warren beatty's mother and oldest daughter........and then he turned the tables on his own name....also misspelled frequently......and our daughter was unaware that his name is ernst, and not ernest..............ah well........and then there are the people who spell stephan with an 'en' or an 'even'....or people who spell cayle in numerous ways.....the worst was a race in which she finished as 'caylor'.....my boys still use that name on occassion...............what's in a name?........lots of emotion............it would appear..............
