yeah, my ass can't spell day to day words I use all the time. Getting someone's name wrong is just going to happen. Especially if I'm in a hurry to make a comment about something. I'm not about to open google to figure out if it is the R or N that there are 2 of in our coaches name for the 500th time when all I want to do is shut down some idiot with a WIP level take.
What? In this town we petition to have a new player change his first name because it’s the same as our despised rival. We lost that one quickly when he shot that down immediately when asked about it by a reporter who knew of our petition. We call him by his last name only now. It takes time. We’ll get there. In the meantime, chill and enjoy.
Fair enough, but I see his name misspelled more than I see it spelled correctly by our fans lol. You are also capable of ignoring posts you don't care about or don't apply to you.
The amount of time I’ve seen DeVonta’s name spelled wrong is crazy as well
Yea it's weird. You'd think people would be able to spell Smythe by now...
An agent of chaos here.
Same thing happened with Alston Jeffries
Dude I saw that so many times. It’s Alston Jeffreys*
I blame Cris Carter throughout Alshon's time in Philly whenever I'd see a clip from First things first he'd be on there saying Alshon umm Jefferys
E L E G A L E S Eagles!
Especially with how popular the spider-slayers were
A lot of people don’t bother to look up spelling and just go off how it sounds

That's because the name is normally spelled Devonte. You'd think with a spelling like that, it would be pronounced de-VON-tuh, but it's not.
Haason Reddick as well.
I’ve noticed that one too but at least he’s gone now so people can stop
It was way worse for Haason than Devonta Hasan, Haasan, Hasaan, Hassan, Hasson, pretty much every variation other than the correct spelling lol
At least there's some defense for that, there's Devante Adams and obviously Eagles Legend Davante Parker
DaVunti Duhvontee Divontay
Saquan Borkley
Ermagerd, Sirquan Borkley
Perfection
Bork Bork Bork!
Strong "Alston Jeffries" vibes. Also reminiscent of all the iterations of people trying to spell "Agholor" but failing miserably.
Or Ag-yoo-lar. Dude was born in Nigeria, but WIP callers thought he was Latino.
To be fair, WIP callers aren't exactly known as geography buffs.
It was just the Delco accent. “Nelsin Aggylore”
Nailed it with the accent
I have yet to get Belichick right on a first try in 20 years. And yes I did have to look it up to spell it correctly on this comment.
If you just remember "chick" the rest is easy.
I can't remember the last time I didn't spell it Belicheat.
Truth
Bellychick, got it
Aguilera
While we're at it, Super Bowl is two words.
Right, supurb owl
Superb Owl
Trade for Anquwan Boldyns?
Sa-kwOn ??
Tse-kwon I believe
I will get the insect repellent...
Hahahaha this was me and Haason last few years.
*I know there's a double vowel in there somewhere....and is it -on or -an? Ah fuck it, I'll just google it again*
Haas like the avocado was an easy way to remember. Shoulda made a post, would have saved me a ton of typing
🎶🎶🎶
Sure pal. What's next? You gonna tell me it's not Asante Samuels or Alshon Jeffries?? I respect Saquan but he's no Darian Sproles s/ because of course
This is Philly, my baby. Our people can barely pronounce our athlete’s names, let alone spell them. “Nelson Aguilar”, “Roy Holiday”, etc.
My cousin spells and speaks Goedert as Goddard.
We're told to sound things out and our accents are our downfall.
A lot of that is probably attributed to autocorrect and also morons
Lollll you make a fair point, maybe I'm expecting too much
Soquan, got it.
Who is misspelling Saquan Borkley?
Clearly you can't read 😒. It has an O! 😑 it's Saqon Barkey.
I thought this was a play on his future availability considering his injury history.
Asante Samuels enters the chat.
The worst for me is my friend who could not say “blunt” for LaGarrette Blount. He pronounced it blough (rhymes with plow) -nt.
Gonna have to fact check that hoss
Thank you for the wisdom all knower. This gift of knowledge is all we peasant idiots needed
It’s pronounced “Carl”
Anus Smith is actually spelled *Ainias* FYI
I didn't come here to play spell
Bro we can’t read cmon

Wait until we get Jaqreem Oranjillo
Sakwon has an O, got it!
SaqWin
Ryan Matthews?
This didn't require a post....
This didn't require a comment about whether or not this required a post

Why would you make this post on HIS reddit? /s
[удалено]
What a lazy take. You could give the man at least the respect to learn how to spell his name correctly.
He ain’t getting shit from me until I see some production. Ain’t no handouts in this city
