When someone misspells your name on a rare occasion, it's easy to forgive. But when it happens repeatedly, it's bound to get on your nerves.
Well, one student has gone viral after sharing his response to a professor who repeatedly messed up his name - and his reply was pretty epic.
The academic reportedly botched his student's name on several occasions, despite having the correct spelling in front of him in an email. So, it's not hard to see why the student grew frustrated.
Keen to put a stop to the persistent problem, he raised the issue with his teacher.
Posted to Twitter as @SaeedDiCaprio, the student shared a screenshot of his email. It read: "Hello Professor, In regards to the paper, I will do that. However, I just wanted to ask why you misspell my name with every email when it is on the screen?
"I just find it unpleasant how you get the spelling of 'Aktiengesellschaft' correctly in the same email where you misspell my name that is clearly written on the screen. Kindest regards, Saeed (not Saed, Seead, or Sadd)."
In a further tweet, Saeed added: "3 different misspellings is crazy." In his caption, he also called the exchange a 'girlboss moment' - and thousands of social media users agreed.
The tweet has racked up over 11 million views and nearly 302,000 likes in the days since it was posted, and several commenters were quick to praise the student's response.
"Oh this made me smile, what a beautiful and polite way to handle such person being disrespectful," read one reply.
A second said: "He slayed that ngl." And another person wrote: "Praying i have the courage to do this next semester."
Meanwhile, other commenters shared their own similar experiences. "People still get my really common first/last name incorrectly even when I have work signature that spells it out for them. It is fine to get it incorrect the first time. The 10th time just gets old," said one viewer.
Someone else replied: "At work, a lady kept spelling my name wrong even though my name is my email address and my email signature, so I started to misspell her name and miraculously she learnt to spell my name correctly."
