I know you all mean well, but there is something I've been meaning to get off my chest.
My name is Kerri. It has been spelled that way for almost 25 years now. Please stop sending me correspondance with it spelled any other way.
Keri Kerry Kerrie Carrie Kari
are all UNACCEPTABLE.
if you continue to spell it incorrectly, i am removing you from my guest list and inviting people who actually know my name.
thank you, KERRI

Re: Dear Family Members:
THANK YOU LADIES!!
it's so nice to see that some of you can relate. People get so mad at me when i correct them, and that just pisses me off. I mean, why get MAD at ME when you're the one who screwed up??
The 'Ke' variations I can deal with to an extent. But when people start spelling it with a C or a Ka i flip out. It's not even the same name!! Let alone the right spelling!
