If it's audiovisual there's also a good chance that they don't know the official spelling (and sometimes the official version is just wrong: Cas from SPN is supposed to be spelled Cass according to some official sources, but no one accepts that).

Huh, that's weird, I did not know that (about Castiel). Okay, point taken.
And it's not going to stop me from treating that person, because their prompts are interesting.

There's at least one canon this year where a character's name is misspelled in the tag set because it's misspelled on IMDB versus what's shown onscreen multiple times in canon, and no one caught it until well after signups had opened.

Oh interesting. Okay, I take everything back, clearly it's not as simple as I thought it was.

Club de Cuervos. The goalkeeper is Rafael Reina on the show, as per the back of his jersey and the official subtitles. On IMDB, and therefore in the tag set, he's Rafael Reyna.

And then one of the requesters included a prompt that hinges on the error: him and Pepe Reina arguing about who spells their name correctly...when really they spell it the same way...

na I hate it when there's a conflict like that. I remember the early days of Grimm had a couple characters with conflicting name spellings and it caused a bunch of confusion. There's so much faith put in imdb getting it right.

Could you point it out to them? If it were me and one of my prompts was totally off base like that I'd want to know.

AYRT

I went to defeat my shyness and do that and they've edited their letter, so either someone else beat me to it or they're reading here. (If so, hi! I like your prompts!)

Huh. Wait, how is 'Cas' pronounced? I just realised I've always pronounced it 'Cazz' (like 'jazz') in my head. /never watched the show

It's pronounced "Cass", with a soft s, not a z-sounding s. Short for Castiel.

I guess that is more logical lol. Although as an Australian, nicknames with 'z' sounds just seem better somehow.

As a non-Aussie who lived there for ages, nicknames with a 'z' mostly sound Aussie to me. And I had one!
