When someone orders a toy box with the name BETSY and you spell it BETSIE.

Best start chiseling, sanding, painting and cutting new letters again.

Could kick myself really... :|

When I used to do engraving (many moons ago now) I engraved a blokes silver ID bracelet with Brain instead of Brian.

Surely easier to do that by deed poll than having to clear this mess up... :lol:

When I was a child my father wrote Brain in a Christmas book they gave me. (I was called Brian, my second name as my father got the Jim)

A friend of mine was in Whitby last week, where she saw a sign by a fire extinguisher which said

EMERGENCY EQIPMENT

This wasn't handwritten or A4 printed, it was engraved in brass and mounted.

In the dark and distant past a relative had the forenames Ann Withanee. :lol:

I cut a scroll saw name for my niece Lexie last year, spent ages sanding it put a top coat of stain on, then my wife said "you've missed the e at the end , it's spelled L.E.X.I.E..." (hammer) .
So I cut the I off and her gave a "Lex" name sign

Well, Betsy or Betsie or Beastie is all ready for round two of painting. They look better unpainted anyway. :twisted:

Just got the letters to cut and make sure I cut them right tis time..... :roll:

HER?????? That's a very brave assumption these days.

Well it could be - but I'd not put it past a person recording the name on her birth certificate getting it wrong (and the parents having either the sense of humor or other reason to leave it be) - I mean just look at these:

Years ago back in 1992 or 1993 I worked in a print company in Holland as a desktop publisher and had to design the schedules for APL (American President Lines).

As websites were still a new thing back then they wanted in big writing: Visit our Website which I spelled as Webstie.

No one proof read it and 800.000 copies were printed.... Time to change career...

Betsy is all OK now..
