Talk about a long bad spell

Today I learned that I've been spelling my niece's nickname incorrectly for all of her life.

Bethany is 23. Here she is with boyfriend Ryan.

For some reason, we've always called her "Buggany." Naturally, this shortens to "Buggs." That's how Bethany signed an email that she sent me today.

And that's when I realized that I've always handled the spelling as "Bugs." You know, like this character:

That's a small thing, I know, but I've always been a strong speller and had a taste for the fine details of words. Yet here was a matter that had escaped me for literally a lifetime.

Buggs (note correct spelling!) would roll her eyes that I'm commenting on this. She might even say: "Uncle Keith, Ya Goof!"
