I guess James is being kind to you. Not making you watch those nasty Marvel and Star Wars tv shows.

Thanks for getting back to me. I just wondered because I doesn’t look like you have your direct messages switched on. It did take me a while to work out how to switch mine on/off. And I understand if you would rather have posted questions than DMs.

I’ve been Boyle, Boyed, Buoyed, Boyde, Boyed & Bowied. In the electronic era it is less of a problem so I don’t understand how they get yours wrong. Has Boyd Hilton not had any issues?

In my previous life I did exactly what you did and collected my miss-heard/spelt names. To a certain extent I can understand people getting yours wrong (I can’t spell “received” without spellcheck) but misspelling Boyd was usually an accent / telephone thing. You still have my sympathy.
