Interesting discussion!
I get called Colin consistently - and  not just by the locals ,some of which
have known me for 40 years or so -  others do it even after having spelt my
name phonetically - very odd  ...
And of course during CW CQ W/W I had almost every other US station I  
called,
coming back to me as G3T X F !  I bet Nigel doesn't have the  reverse
happening to him!
I find with increasing age that typing becomes  more inaccurate and gets to
be a problem typing callsigns in at 30wpm + ...  I read them and know what 
is
being sent, but they appear in the log as  something completely different -
then it becomes a challenge to edit them  before the next call arrives ! No
wonder I get exhausted after even a short  CW contest!

Its not just on cw, the problem is on phone as well. 
 Many years ago I tried using the phonetics
Radio Amateurs Union for G3RAU,
30% of the time it was turned into
Amateur Radio Union. 
Gave up using it.
