-- "Twilight Time" in Westender on September 17, 2009
The writer chose to ignore those bestseller lists and decided to hazard a guess in the spelling of the Twilight author's name. With 5 Es and zero As, it's Stephenie Meyer.
Poor Ms. Meyer must top the list of misspelled author names. My favorite appeared on Yahoo, where both her first and her last name were mangled (Stephanie Myers). I first reported it on my blog here: http://terriblywrite.wordpress.com/2008/10/22/click-your-frigging-link/
Then the writer (who is a regular follower of my blog) tried to correct it, but still got it wrong! (This time calling her Stephenie Meyers.) http://terriblywrite.wordpress.com/2008/10/23/stephenie-meyer-marc-meyer-get-same-shoddy-treatment/
What really amused me is that the writer included a link to Ms. Meyer's website and was able to spell her name correctly in URL.
