Sorr to bring this up
« on: January 30, 2011, 11:01:42 AM »


   
     I’m really sorry to bring this up and gripe at something so trivial. Not to mention be a word fascist but I really need to get this off my chest. I’m having real difficulty    with people using the word ANOVA in place of the company’s chosen name   Innvo .  Innvo for short as Innvo labs I don’t mind but anova just seems wrong to me.  If this is not overstepping my place. .     Could I please respectfully ask if it would be possible if people   would stop using the name ANOVA in place of Innvo? I don’t mean to infringe on peoples own free expression but if someone where to continually deliberately  misspell bob’s name as Bill he’d  probably get a bit annoyed about it as would probably a lot of people.  Not only that but as a serious point       I think its confusing newer members.  It’s caught me out before I know that. I know it started off as a sort of Joke but I think it might have run its course long since.   
I’m sorry to be such a moan about this and I’m not trying to criticise anyone’s    spelling. Everyone knows I don’t have a leg to stand on where spelling and diction    is concerned. To be honest though it’s starting to make me cringe   every time I come   across it now. I respect that is probably    Irrational on my part  perhaps  but  it seems  to me to be  a little disrespectful and also a little   annoying to keep  on  deliberately misspelling  a given  name. Especially if it’s leading to possible confusion for other forum members.   Again I’m really sorry to bring this up. I am not trying to cause arguments or any disrespect.
If I’m  the only one   who feels this  way then I’ll just  have to respect  everyone else’s vews and   live with it as the minority  but I just thought I really need to bring  this up and say something  before not doing so drives me mad.     
   Again I’m not trying to cause any offence so I hope people don’t take any.

THANK YOU!!

I was wondering if I was missing something-- Good to know I'm not crazy, and that my "interpretation" of the word was correct!

I do know that this has cropped up before and I'm pretty sure it's going to crop up again in the future, however for the record, the name of the company is Innvo Labs.

Not:
Innova
Inovo
Innovo
etc.etc.etc.

I don't think there's anything wrong with you bringing this up; free speech goes both ways after all, and you actually have a very good point about it confusing new members; I've seen that as well.

It also actually does bug me as well...

I can't say it's really bothered me too much but I can see how it can cause confusion especially to new members.

By the way, what does Innvo Labs actually stand for? Is it Innovation Laboratories? If so, I suppose it would then be Innov Labs instead of Innvo ???
