Maybe they were just too polite to mention it.

I think it's a good instinct to assume the best of people but let me assure you there is nothing polite about Chairs.

If it were me, I’d give a chuckle every time I saw it.

I had a job for about a year, where among other things I was making the requests to our physical document storage supplier. They are amazingly incompetent. And one thing they did is, early on, they were calling me David, while my first name is Daniel. I didn't say anything, wanting to note how long before they'd realize their mistake. They never did.

Of course, my name is the signature of all my emails.

People frequently misspell my name. Even though they've just had to correctly spell my name to get the email to me in the first place. Is it not even an uncommon name, it's like being unable to spell Paul.
