Some people spell words differently from the usual spelling. Some people not only spell words differently from the usual spelling but can tell when somebody saying it is spelling it wrong in their head. It's as if they can infer the other person having an "incorrect" Funetik Aksent. Hollywood Spelling is the inverse of this trope to some extent. Compare Pretentious Pronunciation. Can overlap with Painting the Medium or Medium Awareness. See also Capital Letters Are Magic. |

Early in The Grace of Kings, Lovable Rogue Kuni Garu crashes a party under the name of Fin, a wealthy young man. When his love interest, Jia, points out that she just met the actual Fin, Kuni then claims that he's Fin's cousin, Phin, and purses his lips to show the (nearly nonexistent) difference in pronunciation. | |

In Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics), Scourge renames his home dimension "Moebius' to differentiate it from Mobius-Prime. Word of God states that it's pronounced the same as "Mobius" and points out that the characters don't seem to get confused despite being unable to see the speech balloons. | |

When Ishida is introduced in Bleach, Ichigo reads his given name "Uryu" (雨竜) off the class roster as "Ametatsu"—the correct first-level reading for the kanji, but only if the person in question is female. Ichigo's classmates take the opportunity to lampshade his horrible memory for names. | |

In Whateley Academy, Fey's name is often misspelled by others as F-A-Y. The reader can tell that a character doesn't know the proper spelling by looking at how it's written in their dialogue. For some reason, though, characters that are aware of the correct spelling seem to know instinctively when it's being misspelled, despite "Fay" and "Fey" sounding exactly the same when spoken. | |

Discworld: Pteppic from Pyramids (a reference to the Ancient Egyptian Ptolemaic Dynasty, named after Ptolemy). Going from this, some readers refer to Pratchett as "Pterry". Whereas initially Pteppic pronounces every "t" word with a "p" in the beginning, by the time he's finished his education in Ankh-Morpork, even he doesn't include the "p" in front of his own name, thinking of himself as Teppic. Ptraci, on the other hand, determinedly hangs on to her accent, invoking Rule of Sexy. This is rather irritatingly averted in the audiobook, where usually-reliable narrator Nigel Planer pronounces it Pa-Teppic and Pa-Traci, despite the jokes about others pronouncing them that way and being wrong. He also hits the D in Djelibeybi, ruining the pun. During the initiation in Going Postal, Moist thinks to himself that it's amazing that he can hear the capital letters in "Let him don the Boots!", but this is only one of many occasions in Discworld novels where someone audibly pronounces capital letters or punctuation (for example, quotation marks or italics for the particularly unhinged). "!" said Rincewind. Let us not forget the Igors, half of whom are named Igor and the other half Igorina, and they know which Igor you mean. "Oh, you mean my cousin Igor." When William de Worde first meets Commander Vimes in The Truth, he reflects that he's a person one naturally thinks of as a "Mister" rather than a "Mr." |

Homestuck: Aranea, due to the influence of the company she keeps, has a habit of making fish puns. At one point, while another character is beating up said company because he believes her to be "Fish Hitler", she shouts at him to stop "whaling" on her friend, and then corrects herself to say "wailing" instead. She then asks herself why she did so, as both of those words are pronounced the same way. | |

In the third trial of Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Phoenix Wright somehow knows that a parrot said "Godoor" instead of "Goldor". Phoenix didn't even know that there was a magic spell called Godoor, and the subtitles (which are obviously not visible in-universe) are the only way to know the parrot didn't just slur over the 'l' in the spell name. | |

Comes up a few times in The Order of the Stick, which is not surprising considering the comic's tendency to Paint the Medium. Xykon knows when someone pronounces his name with a Z instead of an X (likely a Take That! to the many varied and bizarre mis-spellings that show up on the forums). One of the bonus strips in the compilation books, a creature refers to finding a dragon "horde" instead of hoard, and after being corrected confusedly asks "I mean, technically I said that out loud, so how did you know that I..." Inverted when Durkon didn't prepare the Control Winds spell even though he knew they'd be going through the Windy Canyon. Somehow, Durkon had thought the title referred to the canyon's "winding" passages, as opposed to the weather phenomenon. Lampshaded by V in the same strip. |

Inverted in Colbert Report fandom. Since the T in Colbert is silent, fans have had to invent new ways of spelling the name to indicate when a character in fanfiction is pronouncing it wrong. "Col-bert" is perhaps the most commonly used, although "ColberT" is also seen. | |

In one host segment of Mystery Science Theater 3000, Tom Servo declares that his name has been changed to Tom Sirveaux. Later, he adds an H to his first name...to make it Htom Sirveaux. In response, Crow suggests that Htom hlick him and starts spelling his name with an "e" and a Heävy Mëtal Ümlaut (Cröe). During this sequence, Tom can tell when the others are calling him Servo rather than Sirveaux even though the pronunciation is exactly the same. | |

Ron DeLite in the third Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney game corrects Phoenix's spelling of Mask☆DeMasque. Apparently, there's a difference between 'mask' and 'masque', and you have to get them in the right order. Also, you have to include the star, somehow. This has led to the fan theory that the star is pronounced by pausing and doing jazz hands. | |

Parodied in an episode of The Golden Girls, where the four come into contact with a funeral director named Mr. Pfeiffer. The pronunciation of his name is exactly how it's spelled: "Puh-feiffer"; the "P" is not silent.

The villain Goda from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig manages to exemplify a Japanese take on Psmith Psyndrome. In his first appearance, he points out to Aramaki that most people read his name wrong and that his given name, written 一人 (normally read as "hitori"), is actually "Kazundo." He also likes it, because after having been corrected once, people have a much easier time recalling his name later. | |

In Wicked, "animals" are ordinary creatures, whereas "Animals" are creatures who can talk, think, and act like people. Apparently, Ozites have a way of telling whether or not words are pronounced with a capital letter. When a lecturer began his sentence with the word "Animal", the reader is left wondering if it was capitalized to indicate importance, or just because it was the first word in the sentence. Elphaba then wonders the same thing, due to his "unusual accent". |

Ace Attorney: Ron DeLite in the third Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney game corrects Phoenix's spelling of Mask☆DeMasque. Apparently, there's a difference between 'mask' and 'masque', and you have to get them in the right order. Also, you have to include the star, somehow. This has led to the fan theory that the star is pronounced by pausing and doing jazz hands. In the third trial of Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Phoenix Wright somehow knows that a parrot said "Godoor" instead of "Goldor". Phoenix didn't even know that there was a magic spell called Godoor, and the subtitles (which are obviously not visible in-universe) are the only way to know the parrot didn't just slur over the 'l' in the spell name. |

Kingdom of Loathing provides the usual lampshade hanging: Not to mention the gnomish awaregness of the silent "g". |

The Goldfinch: The main character's father's girlfriend's name is pronounced "Sandra," but she says it's spelled "Xandra." When he peeks at her driver's license, he finds that it's actually just spelled "Sandra." | |

T-Rex from Dinosaur Comics at one point tries speaking in homophones, except that no one can tell the difference. Also, God can tell whether or not a spoken sentence is properly punctuated. Unfortunately, several of the homophones are only homophones in some dialects, which means they fail to work for speakers of dialects that distinguish them clearly. And as for punctuation, though the marks themselves are not audible, they change the intonation of nearby words—even the mentioned friend's/friends/friends' in some accents. |

Kingdom Hearts has the all-powerful χ-blade, spelled with the Greek letter that is sometimes pronounced "kye" but is most frequently pronounced "kee". This results in the name of the weapon being pronounced like the signature Keyblade weapons. Somehow the characters know how to distinguish between the χ-blade and their normal Keyblades.note Although some characters pronounce it "Key Blade" with an audible gap between the syllables, most of the main characters fail to do so | |

Babylon 5 features ten alien brothers, all named Zathras, each with a pronunciation so subtly different that the human ear cannot distinguish it. The CCG of the game has cards for several of them. They are distinguished textually by the placement of an apostrophe between different letters (Z'athras, Za'thras, Zath'ras, etc.) |
