I don’t use my last name that often on IMAO, so this doesn’t come up a bit, but I saw it a lot when people were suggesting names for the IMAO baby. So I just want to make this clear:
Fleming is spelled with one ‘m’.
Yeah, my name was spelled correctly multiple times right there in the post, but people kept going off and putting two ‘m’s in it. I hear there are such things as two ‘m’ Flemings, but they’re probably pretty rare and inbred and freakish. As a rule, Fleming is only spelled with one ‘m’. But people like to put two in it for some reason. I don’t know why. Some people like the comedy of Dane Cook. Not everything I understand.
Anyway, misspelling my last name is a little pet peeve of mine. No big deal, though. But if I see it again, that’s instant banning. And I’ll try to block your ip address to so you can’t even visit this site. And I’ll wish your death. I won’t actually do anything about it, but I will wish it.
Thanks!
We’re sorry, Mr. Flemingg.
My last name is “Black”….and people will still ask me how to spell it……Gzxqpl….they’re all silent. (stolen from George Carlin)
I’m glad you spelled that out. I had it as “Pflegming”. That would have been embarrassing.
Maybe they were suggestions for calling him Flemming Fleming.
Quit making ffun of mmy stutter, Flemming!
It’s a natural mistake, Mr. Phlegming. Please forgive us!
The 2 ‘m’ Flemings would most likely be akin to the Sneetches without stars on thars.
Ok, Harvey. I promise not to use two “mm’s” in Flaming.
I thought your last name was J.
so, it’s Fleminng?
Maybe they figure it’s present tense of Flem, or something. To Flem; he Flems; he is Flemming; he Flemmed.
Or not.
Maybe they figure it’s present tense of Flem, or something.
Flemmmimmg? Is that the way? 😉
Y’know, gotta double the consonant before “ing” if it’s not a long vowel before the consonant.
There’s worse things than being verbed, though. My name (esp. full name) is several nouns at once, *none* of them complimentary. And that’s when spelled correctly.
Anything you say, Frnak.
We’re all banned. And without us, Frank has no commenters!
Ok, so during that baby-naming fenzy, when you were getting suggestions like El Guapo Flemming and Crotch Puncher Flemming and Mama Mirabel Orchard Princess Flemming, the thing that REALLY pissed you off was the extra “m”?
Huh.
Darth Fleming….
Ji, Phrank, why so thin skinned? As the son of illiterate, tater famine Irishmen who while trying to “blend” here changed their dirty sounding Irish names by removing the O’ and adding an F (to be fancy and get hired as a slave), I have little empathy. In my family, no one since the late 1800’s has ever heard their name pronounced properly by anyone who read it first (or seen it spelled properly after hearing it).
We’ve won a lot of spelling bees since then, though. hoho
Best,
Chuck Coffer(rhymes with gopher)
But it’s still O.K. if we spell Franc with a “c”?
But we were discussing the identity of a child, on the internet. We were trying to preserve his/her anonymity with a clever pseudonym. Your child will be safe so long as the bad guys are searching for a Fred T. Flemming, and don’t know his real name only has one M.
I think we should swap the two F’s for two K’s Krank Kumings, that can be your name if you ever do gay porn. (again)
You just can’t get a rise out of Frank these days when he’s busy Tweeting. Frank, you really should set aside a day a month where you interact with your
fansreaderscommenters. (Not that it would do us any good.)As a side warning like 3 out of 4 times someone gets bitchy about their name and its spelling its a flaming liberal. Just saying keep in mind its slippery slope from name hyper-sensitivity to identity politics. Your name is Frank embrace its inherent masculinity.
I have Biblical name that even my own family and lifelong friends and girlfriends misspell. One time I couldn’t remember if it ended with a -thon -than. Actually I’m still not sure. Indifference to such personal petty things shows a rare quality of character.
Well, if mmy namme was mmispelled I’mm sure that I would feel a bit mmiffed but not so mmuch that I’d mmake such a mmountain out of a mmole hill.
Your name is Frank M. Fleming? When did this happen?
So can we start pointing out that you keep misspelling FrnakJ?
I relate to this sensitivity. I hate to have my first name mis-spelled, and try politely to quietly stop it before it gets way out of hand. I’ve seen my name spelled vivian, vivienne, vivenne,vivenene and it drives me to irritation, of sorts.
So cut this dude some slack, will ya?
island girl, we simply
love hate love hate love hate love hate love hate love hate love hate love hate love hate love hate love hate love hate… love Frank.Frank loves that kind of (RF) oscillation!
At least you didn’t wish rectal cancer on them.
Well, you might as well wish death upon me because I am going to spell it Phleming from now on.
When people misspell my name I normally just kick ‘um in the ‘nads. Gets their attention every time….zzyzx, spelled with three z’s (top that), Alaska.
Frank, dude, when we spell it with two Ms it is tantamount to cheering. Kinda like, “Here’s Frank J Flemmmmmmmmmming!” to thunderous applause. We just shorten it to save bandwidth.
Fun Frank Facts.
Favorite candy is m’s
Trained his dog to lick m& only
Has dog breath
Related to this guy by any chance?
I thought your last name was shortened from talking about democrats – “those F-ing lemmings” and over time it got shortened to Flem
ming.
