When it comes to my last name, I've always chosen to have a sense of humor about it as people misspell, mispronounce, and just generally mangle it on a day to day basis. I understand it is somewhat intimidating and, unlike many Polish last names, is spelled with a "Y" at the end instead of an "I" which can be confusing. Generally I just laugh it off, tell people I've been called worse, or tell them that, unlike my brother who is stuck with it for the rest of his life, one day, I'll get married and can get rid of it.
Trust our Federal Government to get it wrong to a point that I can't really overlook it as shown on the Change of Address Confirmation I received from the Postal Service today:
As if "Duck," "Doobie", and the plethora of other names I was called growing up wasn't insulting enough...imagine "Butkowsky" actually being my real last name....I might have put myself up for adoption.....
The real question is though....where the hell is all my mail going??
