My wife's name is, Dolores, nothing fancy, has 3 vowels, and should be easy to spell.

But over the years it's been misspelled in more ways than you can imagine, and it drives her nuts.

It's all about pronunciation, and poor pronunciation is the root cause of most misspelled words.

Dolores should be pronounced, dough-lore-ez, but people have spelled it, Delores, Deloris, Doloris, and so forth.

Dolores is a Spanish name. Her father was a big fan of the actress, Dolores Del Rio, and he wanted his daughter named after his idol. I think it was the only time he got his way with my mother-in-law.

Oh, by the way, Dolores means "sorrow or grief," which is why I guess she felt compelled to marry me.
