The New York Times has...

...an article in the Business section today about winemaking as a second career. It has a picture of two people with the caption:

Nancy Irelan and Mike Schnelle, who once had jobs at corporations, are now making wines in upstate New York.

I figured that must have been a misprint. Surely her name has a "D" at the end. But later in the article it says:

Farther north, in the Finger Lakes region of New York, a mix of skills helped Nancy Irelan and her husband, Mike Schnelle, open the Red Tail Ridge Winery.

And:

Ms. Irelan worked for DuPont as a chemist while in college and received a Ph.D. in genetics.

Everyone must misspell that name. It has to be a pain in the neck.

"No, it's Irelan. I-R-E-L-A-N. No 'D.' "

"No 'D?' "

"No 'D.' "

"Are you sure?"

Why doesn't she just add a "D" to the end and be done with it?
