I teach college. I have a doctoral degree from an Ivy. I care about words and names. I don’t misspell them, and if I accidentally did, I would correct it and beat myself up about it.

What you denigrate as “pedantic” is merely “respecting others.”

I note that in your comments to me you have not addressed or recognized at all the misogynistic slur in the other poster’s username, so apparently that’s A-OK with you while we argue about whether or not it’s necessary to spell the city name correctly?
