So this is where the German language is now going. I know that this is
a word that is often misspelt, but only the internet allows people to
write "entlich" without being corrected. Knowing what the correct
spelling is (I lived in Germany for 18 years and did most of my
education there), I tend to shiver for a second, then read on every
time I encounter something like that (there are lots more of this
kind).

No, I was just objecting to the incorrect spelling. Your story is
quite entertaining, though. Similar to Viktor Vasarely, a Hungarian
artist who had to adapt his name (from V\'as\'arhelyi [TeX syntax],
which is pronounced quite differently) when he moved to France.
