You've got it all wrong. It was Ooze.

Yeah, how people continually wrote Adem Yze when it is quite clearly Adam Oozay, I will never know.

I'll bet following MFC through 2012 was far more depressing.

Good point Bbo and the sun did come out quite often.

Too bad we no longer have Austin 'copy paste' Wonaeamirri. The variations on that one were classic.

Clark and Dunn +e drives me crazy.

Yep spot on, or Wonna . The Ox is far easier to use as well .

Imagine if Woewodin , Grgic and Leoncelli were still around .

As much as I would like to visit that part of the world (really want to get to Iceland one day), it should be noted that Sweden has one of the highest suicide rates in the world...guess that fits with your description OD.

One of my favourites, not actually a mis spelling but a pronunciation one, was Jack Dyer who used to describe Big Strawbs, #1, as "Odour Wire".

The effective taxation in Sweden is commonly cited as among the highest in the world.

No it's just rpfc - he posts a lot.

I noticed Bait is training with the Bulldogs in photos on the AFL website.

David Rodan- Roden

You can now add Rhodan to the list.......

Updated. I'll continue to do so as new spellings of players' names emerge.

As long as it's not ineffective taxation, they shouldn't have anything to get upset about.

apparently norway has high tax as well, but the retirement age is alot lower and their civil services are meant to be fantastic...

i'd be happy to pay a bit more tax if it meant i didnt have to work until i'm 70

Helps to be making squillions from North Sea oil.

I used to say 'Trengrove' for a little while (a few months pre and post draft) but I think that's the only mistake I've ever made. I used to think Shannon Byrnes was Brynes though. I've continually seen Clarke, Pettard and Taggart . I never even got Wonaeamirri wrong, among a sea of Wonaemirri's and Wonaeamiri's. A bit off topic, but I've heard people at games exchange Bennell for Jetta and vice versa

I find the spelling police annoying.

As long as I know who posters are on about , I don't care if they mix up a letter.

Nah, spell the name right. It's really not difficult.

It's more the fact that people don't know how to spell the name, not so much mixing up a letter.

Topics like this one make people aware of how to spell certain names.

Personally I am hopeless at remembering people's names and so so at spelling them, but when it comes to players names at Melbourne I like to know them correctly.

Hardly a big deal but.

spelling mistakes arent the things that annoy me, what annoys me is when someone has made a good point or have a good opinion on something but they have slept a name wrong then the next 3 comments are, awww it CLARK not CLARKE!! if you know what they mean just get on with FFS!!
