Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald to staff: Spell my name right or else

[The Giss]

But his senior staff's grammar and proofreading can still suck, as long as they spell his name right.

"Effective immediately, regardless of deadlines or emergencies, Ed will no longer sign letters, contracts, documents, etc. that does (sic) not have his name spelled properly (Edward FitzGerald)," FitzGerald's administrative assistant Tanya Hairston wrote. "Additionally, please remember that his last name does have a capital G and should be used accordingly (what should?). I have also be informed (sic) to please return any documents that does not conform with his instructions to the sender."

Tanya, has be informed that she do butcher the English Language far too often in this statement.

I have an ethnic last name that often gets spelled or pronounced wrong. If I got pissy about it, I'd be pissy my entire life. So what's the point?

People who look for an insult at every turn will find them. Almost everybody lives their busy lives without time to actually
think about insulting you. Just get over yourself.
