I guess what I find so amusing/annoying is that people think that by spelling a name differently they are somehow unique. The spelling of your name doesn't make you unique, who you are as a person does.

It's just like in high school when one kid wants to be different so he pierces his nipples and wears all black. That doesn't make you unique. Your thoughts and your actions make you different. Any idiot can put a pair of black vinyl pants on. Just like any ole person can decide that they want to spell Melissa M-a-y-l-i-s-a.

To me it seems like picking the wrong battle. Be unique in a way that actually counts.
