It is one part that shows that communication is lacking. Obviously it is
not the only way that I noticed this.

So how can we improve this?

As there is only one correct way to spell it, I feel it is not a 'favour'
thing. I would like to call it Suze Randall instead of SUSE Linux.
Although that would be *my* favour, it would still be wrong.

The issue is still, I believe, that communication is lacking and lacking
seriously. Calling something the wrong name is just part of the issue.
