Ok, a very random topic, but this made me so mad! I was at Borders book shop the other day, right, and I was looking at Queen CDs. Then, when I was done, I went to see if they had any Freddie Mercury CDs. So I was browsing through the 'M' section, and I saw Mercury, though it wasn't Freddie. So I knew I was close, and I kept looking. Then I suddenly saw on the little plastic things with the artist's name on them: 'Freddie Mercury'. I blinked. 'Freddie??!?!' There weren't any CDs, but the Freddie really made me mad. I was seriously thinking of going to the front desk and complaining! I'm sorry about this little rant, but it really annoys me when people spell Freddie's name with a Y. My little sister now does that just to annoy me... grrr. |

This gets on my nerves aswell, but look at the bright side, Freddie is such an icon that he gets his own section! If i remember rightly, didnt Kurt Cobain spell Freddie with a Y in his suicide note? |

Well, I AM danish, and i do spell horribly.. but.. The first time I wrote his name, i think I spelled it: Freddie murcurai.. I had'nt got his name all right, and I know it's embarrasing, but still.. Big deal if someone calls him Freddie, unless he's a Queenzoner :S |

God damn. Dont fucking flip out every time you see something wrong with his name. Its a name that can be spelled different ways so dont blow your head off everytime you see a Y instead of IE. |
| as it began 24.10.2006 16:25 |
Freddie probably spelled it that way on purpose because not many people spell it that way.:) |
| its_a_hard_life 26994 24.10.2006 16:59 |
I think the Americans spell it "Freddie". While the British spell it "Freddie". |

I doesn't really bother me on a personal level - but it looked unprofessional when I saw it that way in a published book. That's just poor journalism. |

I usually get it the other way around, I always spell Freddie with an ie instead of a y. But I prefer it how Freddie spells it anyway hee hee |
| Suigi 24.10.2006 19:32 |
At least they got the phonetics right. What if it was just Mercury, Fred? |
| Megamike The GREAT 24.10.2006 20:09 |
Oh for heavens sake.. Freddee Murkuie was not his birth name... it could be spelled any way you want it.. it just dont matter anymore.. |

it doesnt really bother me that they spell it wrong but its just stupid when they do. i saw this DVD of the best music of the 80's and 90's and it had living on my own and instead of putting living on my own by FREDDIE MERCURY they put living on my own by FREDY MERCURY. How stupid! |

What kinda amazes me is when people spell my name crazy ways...Beeth, Beath,Baeth, Bethe, and yes, even Bath. Sorry if I'm missing something, but is "Beth" really that hard of a name to spell? xD |
| blerp 25.10.2006 18:58 |
Yeah, I hate it when people misspell my name or mispronounce it. I seriously don't think my name (Ravie [Rah-vee]) should be that hard... |
| BRYCE THE TROLL 25.10.2006 21:58 |
yeah! i think it's funny when people spell "test" as "teste" XP |
