[ Jaques ]

Anyone with a uniquely spelled name will commiserate with me here.  I’ve just had the experience where the communications department of a large organisation proudly let me know that they’d posted an amazing article about me, and that I should start sharing it around. 

As often happens, my surname in the article was spelled the more popular way of Jacques not Jaques.

It’s tricky to handle this situation.  Because I’m quick to correct, that probably makes me seem intense, sensitive, or even rude. 

But I don’t mean to be rude, and I’m not actually angry; it’s just important to me.
