correct myself or leave it be?

I've been emailing a man about a job and realized in the last email I spelled his name wrong.  Should I send an email correcting myself or just ignore it?

Shoot shoot shoot!

Re: correct myself or leave it be?

  • Ignore it and spell it correctly from here on out.

  • I always appreciate people correcting themselves when they spell my name wrong.

  • I say just keep going and just spell it right from here out. I've done this with a client, and if they are uppity I'll apologize, and if not I'll just let it slide.  There is a good chance they didn't notice, or they are used to the misspell.

    This is what I would do.

  • It can't hurt to call it out and just correct it. May be if it is a short response that you can just resend saying in the first sentence something like, "sent again with correction to your name sorry misspelt earlier." But if it was a long piece then you could just mention it as a last word toward the end of your next communication.

    But I don't think it is too big a deal, the person has to understand that it can happen.  

  • Make a point to say something the next time you communicate with him.  "I have realized that I have spelled your name incorrectly in the past. Please accept my apology for this oversight."  And then let it go and spell it correctly going forward.
