Here are some misspellings I've actually seen (spelling, punctuation, and capitalization is exact):

Gracious. That's a MOST impressive collection. Al's name (and professional monicker) have been comprehensively bent, folded, spindled and mutilated!

On a hunch, I did a Yahoo search for "Wired Al" and found that one, too, although quite a few of the "Wired Al" references were to Mr. "I Invented the Internet" Gore.

I'm not sure, though, that "Wearied Al" is always a misspelling, considering the stats we were discussing a little while ago under "Touring: The Math."

I mean, Al's a big star. Surely too big for just one adjective.

It is especially pathetic when Al's name is misspelled on the concert tickets, or worse yet -- on a huge theater marquee. I have 2 ticket stubs (both from Morristown, NJ), that misspelled Al's name -- in two different ways!

Maybe Al could do a cover of Loudon Wainwrights "They Spelled My Name Wrong Again". Which coincidentally came on as I clicked on General Chat. It has to be some sort of sign.

When in doubt, try, try again...

~looks at list~

Poor Al!

~knows how Al feels with mispellings and mispronouciations of last names~

Though, the weird is mindboggling. How can so many people mispell that?

Because people are stupid.

Hey minnick27, you changed your avatar! I kinda liked the Crazed Al one...

Just saw this one in reference to Al's manager and it made me chuckle, so thought I'd pass it along.
