Which do you hate more?
 
When people spell Mikey "Mickey" or when people spell Raph "Ralph"?

DonatelloFan 06-04-2009 04:23 PM

Well, I've never seen anyone spell Mikey 'Mickey', but I'm sure if they did, it was a mistake.

Now, when people spell it 'Ralph', that gets on my nerves. I don't understand why people think it's Ralph.

Jester 06-04-2009 04:35 PM

As a Raph fan boy, I'll go Ralph, but both annoy me.

Scandia 06-04-2009 05:04 PM

I went with "Mickey" because I misspelled the other one "Ralph" as well.

I now know that "Raphael" and "Ralph" are two different names with two different meanings and two different etymologies...but at the age of 13 I was not aware of that.

Rooish 06-04-2009 05:09 PM

Both mistakes are forgivable, I suppose, but it's fun to be intolerant so I thought I'd make a bitchy poll. ;)

I've definitely seen a lot of Mickey, especially among hyperactive fangirls.

Lordmylar06 06-04-2009 05:39 PM

I get a lil upset at both, especially on ebay items or things deviantart fanart stuff. I voted Ralph because I just hate it more.

Spitfire 06-04-2009 06:45 PM

I see Ralph more often and it's usually some twat whose acting like a turtles scholar that doesn't know ****.

Buslady 06-04-2009 07:15 PM

should be obvious here

Ginny 06-04-2009 09:46 PM

I've seen Ralph a lot more than Mickey so I had to go with that.

Cipher 06-04-2009 10:02 PM

I still don't know how the hell someone could even possibly make those mistakes to begin with.

Bth ar uncceptible.

shuriken 06-04-2009 10:24 PM

Never really seen or heard many people mispell Mikey as Mickey. But a surprisingly large amount of people spell and say "Ralph" when referring to Raph, hell even people that have seen the movies, read the comics and played the games say it. Or maybe they just have lisps...
I dunno every time any one says Ralph I think of this kid...

Not as bad as Don being called Donald.

NightwatchersOnlygirl 06-05-2009 12:33 AM

I don't like it when people spell Ralph not Raph

Candy Kappa 06-05-2009 06:29 AM

Went with Ralp due to the same reason as Spitfire

Doc_ock_4mugen 06-05-2009 06:50 AM

Ralph... It kinda gets on my nerves.

Hero 06-05-2009 08:13 AM

Leo being called Leonard ;)

Lordmylar06 06-05-2009 09:56 AM

Looks like my main man "Ralph" is in the lead, which is normally what "Leonard" does.:lol:

NiNi 06-05-2009 10:21 AM

I went with Raph being called "Ralph". Mikey spelled as "Mickey" is a little bit more forgivable in my opinion. ^^;

Roland 06-05-2009 02:57 PM

I went with mickey. In the one thread i spelt it like that. My first post i edited. I also spelt "krang" as "crang". Oops!

Buslady 06-05-2009 05:41 PM

Another one i hate, Leo being called "Leon"

I've seen Mickey more that I care to. Im like why cant these people get it right?!

"Ralph" reminds me of this idiot driver that used to work for us, his name is Rafael but everyone called him Ralph or Raffa

doomiscool 06-05-2009 06:14 PM

I voted "Ralph"...but both are annoying, just "Ralph" is more so than "Mickey"

Yeah, I've seen that too.

I don't really see people get Don wrong, but the other three I've seen quite a bit...More for "Mickey" and "Ralph" though, with "Leon" being every now and then :lol:

The only times I've ever called a Leonardo "Leon" was for Dark Leo, only because "Leon" is better to say than Dark Leo in my opinion. But I can see why that's a little irking when calling Leonardo "Leon" though.

Archon_Turtle 06-05-2009 08:00 PM

It's official. We have run out of interesting things to talk about. :-P

Buslady 06-05-2009 08:10 PM

^^ yup this is true ^^

Rooish 06-05-2009 09:31 PM

Hey hey! I think there are great threads going on here. I just wanted to throw in a pointless one too. :D

Tuxedo Moroboshi 06-05-2009 11:55 PM

Ralph likes to play with Super Nintendo Chalmers.

Ralphaeal <---Wow, that looks weird.

Yeah, me, too. I mean, ONE time of either one is mildly amusing (kinda), but it happening repeatedly gets annoying.:evil::x

And don't even get me STARTED on the number of TMNT fanfics that it's happened in!:x:evil:

Agreed! For DL it's a good name...but for Leonardo... :dead:

Unfortunately, that's mainly where you see the mistakes. I've seen great fanfics before that make little mistakes like that or bad grammar...or both. Then again, sometimes you get the ones that are so bad they're funny... :lol: :D

Candy Kappa 06-07-2009 04:54 AM

just read a old comment on my youtube video where someone wrote "mickey"
just couldn't stop laughing since the writer wanted to teach me that Leo in my video had wrong mask, but the writer couldn't get the name correct:D

Original TMNT Cartoon Fan 06-07-2009 07:22 AM

Ralph
 
Ralph. There's no "l" between "a" and "p" in Raphael. Mickey may work as a nickname.

Mr._Mutant_Man 06-07-2009 10:58 AM

I guess "Mickey", because I find the Ralph thing to be pretty funny.

Tell me about it..
This thread is about as pointless as that other one I saw some time ago that was about which ninja turtle should Venus hook up with, or marry, or something like that.

Honestly... Is TMNT dead already?

Rooish 06-07-2009 07:06 PM

No! Melodramatic much? It was just a jokey thread. There are plenty of those. I love the deep character analysis threads too, why don't some of you complainers start one?

Because, you'd probably do the same thing: Complain.

Rooish 06-08-2009 04:01 PM

Touché ...

TheUltimateShredhead 06-08-2009 04:20 PM

I notice those mistakes occationally, but it isn't a big deal to me:ohwell:
