Roxane Mesquida’s name has been misspelled on Yahoo! before. The Y! staffers seem to like to double the Ns in her first name. Well, they finally got her first name right, but now have decided to double her last name:
Those rascals on Yahoo! Movies just don’t know when to stop.
It’s one of the most common mistakes that writers make, so it’s no surprise it showed up on Yahoo! News‘ “Who Knew?”
