Can I take out an insurance policy on Mookie Betts?

i constantly get emails where people address me as Steve or Steven (wayne stevens). Most of the time I just ignore it... actually, all the time I just ignore it, because they are usually just passing conversations and I will never talk to the people again. I've got one dude that I email back and forth with like once a week for around 6 months now. Usually I feel correcting people is unnecessary, but at some point I feel like I should have with this dude, and now that window has closed. Hey, you've been calling me the wrong name for 6 months.

at what point do you think I should point this out to people? Does it ever matter? I can be steve forever, I don't really care, I just feel like at some point he may catch on and wonder why I never said anything.

That reminds me of someone at work who I have typed her name about 50 times, and on the 51st time I misspelled it and got an immediate correction.

You could always change your name to Steven Wayne to avoid a potentially awkward situation.

We're all steve here, anyway.

The second time they do it. Once is maybe an accident, or you'll never talk to them again, or they'll figure it out on their own, or someone else will tell them. If you correct them the second time, then it's a little awkward, but not nearly as awkward as if you don't.

My First name is Del and I always got Dale or Delbert. Then the Dell laptop came and I always say my name is Del like the computer. One guy at the bar I go to now always calls me “ computer Del”. Of course everyone now spells my name Dell - like the computer.
