What spelling of a normal name throws into a fit of rage? Not talking crazy Utah

Rebekah - takes be a minute to realize it's the same name as Rebecca

10/23/21 8:39am

Except Rebekah is the original, Biblical name.

exactly how it was spelled in ancient Hebrew — using a later Roman alphabet

But they didn't spell that name in romanized characters back in the day.

Of course not, but we have several hundred years of that spelling in English

Great point.

Shihan

And those names were spelled differently in old English, Middle English etc

That makes it less annoying.

Yeah, hate that guy

10/23/21 8:58am

Well, he is widely considered the father of English literature and is

10/23/21 9:03am

That's exactly why. He should have left Middle English alone.

10/23/21 9:19am

Would you rather be speaking French now?

Shihan

Ohh. Good one

Like Byron Russell?

germm

10/23/21 8:58am

In his defense, Jordan pushed off.

EtTuKalante

10/23/21 9:34am

Yes…guarantee Jordan doesn’t push off if his name is spelled right

10/23/21 9:46am

And it’s Bryon Russell…..nobody says that as Brian/Bryan at first glance
