Thanks again for the compliment and encouragement...that's my story and I'm sticking to it. ;)

I understand/empathize with the spelling 'issue'---personally, my first, middle and last name have been misspelled countless times simply because of the variations that exist for all three names. And as for the 'no big deal' comment I'd posted at the start of this thread, it was no big issue that the tartan name was misspelled on the tag that was attached to the sample. However, you're absolutely right: It is a matter of respect and I will take issue if this happens when the tartan is registered. But, on a more positive note, I don't think that will happen---the people at the Scottish Tartans Authority know what they're doing.
