Sure, you can use it..I am lmao here, because I did this on a census break..I go back to type and find the Irish name Honora..spelled Hennora. I know the name isnt right. It gets that red squiggle under it meaning it isnt on their list, plus there is no other way to spell that..and I am not supposed to fix this...lol grrrr.

I wrote that thing in 5 minutes..had I taken more time..I could have added more to it..lol

LOL Or something.

I just got Patrick spelled as Parick. I fixed it. I hope whomever checks these things..does not let these names stay wrong. I think its important to correct, what you KNOW is right, so people can find their people. I dont fix many, because they tell you not to..only states or countries.

Baileys..thats what I could go for..on ice..lol
