I am sure you know about the ELO rating system.
It was based on maths and originally used in Chess.
The inventor was this University Professor

Well I was in a group where the ELO strength was often a matter of discussion.
I thought it was some initialism - something like E.L.O, hence I always wrote it with capital letters.
One day just out of the blues one Math professor from MIT got totally pissed off with me and asked me
why do I show disrespect to Professor Arpad Elo's surname?
I was totally shocked.
I said I had no idea it was someone's surname. I thought it was an initialism and spelled like E-L-O.
No he said it spells something like e-low, and should always be written as Elo. Everyone else agreed. Imagine my embarrassment.
Eventually I had to apologize LOL.
I often wonder if such a thing happened to me while I had no intention to insult anybody, imagine what could happen to you, who do it intentionally to insult Putin e.g. in newspaper comments, or some other forum, or even in live protests.
