The Jagged Red Line

My computer’s spell check fails to recognize my last name.  The jagged red line of disapproval always appears under my last name when I type it into live documents.  I know that I can add my name to the computer’s dictionary with two clicks.  But I am going to wait this one out.

I am holding fast to principle.

I am going to wait until a Hegman out there in the world becomes famous enough to tip the balance of recognition; or wait until the Hegman ranks expand enough to Smith our way in.
