Televion...

A woman on one of these court tv shows is named Kathryn. When the judge asked her to read a paper where the ex-landlord had misspelled her name as Katherine or Catherine, she read it as Kath-ER-een.

Are people really that dumb to not recognize one of the original spellings of their name?

Unfortunately, many adults in America are illiterate. While it is funny in the context of Court TV, it is really difficult to go through life like that. I have several clients at work that cannot spell their name or the name of their place of work. It is terrifying for them to do things we take for granted, like write a check or sign a contract.
