His name , in cheers from the crowd , is Rubinho .
I try to spell correctly , and wouldn't think of using a spell check feature . I'm old school , man . It's dictionary city for me .
Damn new fangled button things just don't have the feel of the page .
I get a good laugh out of some of the spelling and grammatical errors here , but I won't chide anyone for language .
As long as the post can get the point across , I don't really see a problem .
I'll tell you what irks me .
It's the damned announcers that can't seem to say Robert Kubica's name correctly .
In fact , I don't think I've ever heard his name spoken correctly by any announcer yet .
I certainly don't think it's worth getting all mad about .
I wouldn't spend my capitol letters on it . They cost more , don't they ?
Of course , I could be completely wrong here , as maybe spelling Rubens with an "i" is really , really insulting in Brazil(or is that Brasil?) .

I remember posting a similar thread about MacLaren / McClaren / McLeran / Maclaren.
It's not difficult, is it?Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u

I dislike that Rubins thing too.....more so when commentators get names wrong during F1 races, don't these guys actually do any sort of prep work?
It happens all the time in Football too(especially with sh*t channels like Ten Sports over here)Tito Vilanova = :champion:

In the theme of misspelled names and words, Kimi's last name (using an English keyboard) is Raikkonen not Raikonnen
Also its sponsor not sponser, in fact wasn't sponser a censored word in this forum?I got my motorcycle jacket, but I'm walking all the time...
