At first glance this might seem strange but, I dont see it 
that way.  For two years I worked at a job where I was 
on the telephone issuing permits.  I had to give people 
detailed information that they had to copy down on a 
form - one of the last bits of information they needed was
my first name.  I would say, "My name is George."
Almost 100% of the time they copied it wrong they copied 
it as Stewart (and these are only the folks who repeated it back to me.)

Now - I still get a bit confused as to how that error is 
made but I am sure that is has to do with the way my
voice sounds, the telephone headset mic and other factors.

I sell a logging program that allows the user to recall information
form a database.  There seems to be a common misconception
that we supply this database with the software. 

We don't.
