You're not alone.
The spelling, including the first 'r' is far more common...but the spelling of my name is originally Italian. So normally, in the "English-speaking" world, there WOULD be an 'r' after the initial F. It's a mistake many have made, and that's fine.
I just wanna say that I really do try to be friendly and a good listener everywhere I go. My favorite thread on NewBuddhist is samahita's Daily Dhamma Drops, and it always emphasizes friendliness. When I write mischievously (and having gentle fun is what I mean by my mischief) I often forget to triple-check my posts before I post them. I am sorry where I may have offended.
For myself, I have learned to be as indirect as possible with person opining views/stances that I myself cannot see, for the sake of friendliness (which is of the utmost).
I just do not understand why people throw the "prejudiced" stamp around so much in these parts. Maybe some reading in the dictionary might shed some light? Not saying that we don't all have tinted lenses, but to say that somebody else is using his lenses to block out all other light, sticking him in steeped ignorance, is, I believe, going too far.
I used to be Muslim, and I remember when my family and I would go to the mosque on sundays to pray and women would pray on the 1st floor and men prayed on the 2nd floor.
Namaste,
I don't see that as a bad thing at all. When I'm in Shul I prefer to be separate to the men so I can go at my own pace. And meditate.
