I need to start keeping a list of ways that my name is misspelled in articles. In the past month I’ve seen:
John Drescher
Josh Dresher
Josch Drescher
Jason Drescher
Josh Dressner
Jane Drescher (My favorite – though it was quickly corrected.)
I think I need clearer business cards and a GIANT name tag.
Video game designer, renowned man of action, dirigible enthusiast, unicorn-hunter.
Hello there! My name is Josh Drescher and I make video games. Sometimes I talk about my work here, but usually I'm just whining about movies or comics or politics. And - truth be told - I'm *PROBABLY* doing it on Twitter, rather than here.
Your name was added to my spellchecker months ago.
With a last name like mine: Lundberg.. I feel your pain. I dealt with teachers misspelling or saying my name wrong and even had it misspelled on almost all my Little League trophies.
Lunderberg, Lundenberg, Lundberger, Lundburg, Lindberg… The horrific agony of it all!!
Sorry Jim.
If it makes you feel any better, I get called Josh about 50% of the time.
John Hoskin, somehow becomes Josh Hoskins.
Roll with it, or maybe we can trade names?
