JADP, but there's no keyboard-related reason for people to misspell my

unless there's some particular reason I want to ensure that my surname
is spelled correct

Agreed. As one of those whose name is frequently butchered due to our
medium of communications (who knows how I want it pronounced until/unless
you meet me or someone who's met me?), the criteria I use in judging
offense is "Has this person ever been told by me how I prefer to be
addressed? If no

I used to be really antsy over my name; to the point where, at school, I
refused to be taught by one teach for a time because she kept calling me
"Tom". Nowadays even I call myself that.
