Management Bit and Tip 0×2
People feel uncomfortable if not irritated or alienated when they see their misspelled names (bit). Don’t rely on your native language patterns or automatic spell checking. Verify names manually before hitting “Send” button (tip).
For example, in English it is rare when a name starts with both consonants and it is not easy to pronounce Dmitry or Dmitri (both are English and French spelling of the same Russian name) than Dimitry. Therefore people tend to write the latter. Once I got an email starting with “Dear Dirty”. At that time that was the default suggestion from Microsoft Word spell checker.
