I didn't even notice that I added the -s until you pointed it out. So annoying! I have a name (Tamara) which should be easy to spell. But I seem to have some weird kind of accent or something so people always are spelling it wrong: Timera, Camera, TOmara, Tamera, Tamra, ... This only seems to happen with Americans. Others never seem to have a problem hearing it and knowing how it's spelled. What's weird is I'm American, people say I have virtually no accent of any kind (which means, I guess, neutral "newscaster" American accent?) At any rate, I do apologize.
