We sometimes have the famous Janssen pigeons come up on our posts.
There are various ways of spelling the name. I know I have spelled it Jansen and Jannsen. I have seen it spelled Janseen.
I checked. The correct spelling is Janssen.
We might do the bothers the courtesy of spelling their name correctly.

The name I've seen spelled wrong the most over the years is Georges Busschaert.
