Quoted from goodicksa

Pffft... I don't know what you are all complaining about. Try living with the last name Goodick for a while. You wouldn't think it'd be difficult to spell but I constantly get butchered pronunciations & spelling mistakes.... I guess people panic when they read what looks like 'good private' and figure it must be a misprint so they make their best guess correction.
Just off the top of my head I can name a dozen misspellings I've had to endure.
goddick (close but not quite... almost sounds the same though)
godick (most common error... guess it takes too much ink to and in the 2nd 'o')
godrick
goodich (damn, you can never seem to scratch the right spot can you?)
goodlick (a personal favorite... paging mr goodlick... mr goodlick, please come to the front desk..)
goodrich
goodrick
goodwiak (got this one a few weeks ago on a human resorces memo @ work)
goodwick
goodwin (oh come on... you're not even trying now)
gopdick (my Safeway savers card...which I now refuse to use)
hyriodick (this was on a letter from my insurance company...good thing I wasn't trying to make a claim)

Funny thing is Goodick isn't even correct. The proper spelling is Godeke but was this anglosized 1783 when the first family member came to Canada. Guess they were afraid people would always spell it wrong
