I started this job last spring and my manager's name is Krisztof.
Not Christopher. Not Kristoff. Krisztof. Hungarian spelling.
My phone decided from day one that this was not a real word and kept changing it to "Kristoff" every single time I typed it. I didn't notice because I was new and busy and genuinely thought that was just how he spelled it.
For eight months I emailed him, cc'd him, referenced him in documents and sent him meeting invites all with the wrong name.
He never said anything. Not once.
At my performance review last week he told me my work had been strong and that he only had one small piece of feedback.
He then very calmly explained that his name is spelled with a Z and a T and that he had noticed it in my emails and wanted to mention it before it came up with a client.
I wanted to leave my body.
I apologized probably six times in a row and he was completely gracious about it which somehow made it worse.
I went home and scrolled back through eight months of emails and found forty three instances of the wrong name.
Forty three.
He responded warmly to every single one and never said a word.
I have corrected my phone's dictionary. I have also not fully recovered.
TL;DR autocorrect changed my manager's name for eight months, he waited until my performance review to mention it, there were forty three emails, he was very nice about it, i am not okay
