A work collegue is leaving and I bought him a card but did something stupid and spelt a letter of his name wrong - in my defense there are 2 ways of spelling the particular name. 
 

Anyway I was going to throw out and buy a new one but he is the type to call people out on wasting paper etc. So after the 'thanks for being a suportive collegue' message I have put 'sorry about mispelling your name- I was going to discard the card and buy you a new card but I know how passionate you are about wasting paper

At first I thought he might find it funny as he has a sense of humour, but then part of me thinks it sounds sarcastic. 
 

What do you think.. should I sens it him or get a new card.

The fact that it's bothering you ....   I would buy a new card

Difficult to say without knowing you both, but I think I would tend to leave it.

Buy a new one and don't tell him about this one. 

Supportive colleague

When you have a name people can get wrong quite easily (I get Rowan, Rowen, Rowin, Rowena, and weirdly Rohan) you get used to it.  Sometimes I get cards with the wrong spelling crossed through and an ooops, beside it or above it. I like that they own the error but I am not going to make an issue of it.  It's the thought in sending the card that matters.

Names are important but only you know the person.  Personally I would give the card with a "sorry just realised I spelt your name wrong....."

Just add '"LOL, your fault for having a name that's easily misspelt "

But I will miss you

I know 3 guys named Julian, Justin & Jason. I invariably call them by the wrong name!

Don't bother with a card. Just shake his hand & wish him all the best.
