Micheal or Michael?

Have you ever spell this name wrongly? I did this mistake for the last 6 months. And I think it is funny.

I have a student name Michael Gregory. There was once, Kenny (the baby boy) pronounced his name as "Michelle". The class burst into laughter. Then, a few students told me they always mix up "Michelle" & "Michael" also. As for me, I know Michelle is a name for gal, and Michael is for boy. As for children, they pronounce by using the phonic technique.

Until last week, Michael looked at the reciept and started yelling.

"Teacher, you spell my name wrongly! You lah, make ppl call me Michelle. Duh!"

What a silly mistake!
