Correction of name spellings


The correct spellings of the leads' names are Jan Kubiš and Jozef Gabčík. Not really a super important thing but just kinda annoying, I don't care that the actors aren't Czech but just wish that Hollywood could get foreign name spellings and pronunciation right for once, it's not that difficult.

I get that the letters have been switched, still wouldn't be so hard to have the correct ones though- it's honestly just a tiny insignificant annoyance, but one that I see happen a lot. Everywhere I've looked his name is spelled Jozef since he was Slovakian, you might be right though, not like it matters tbh. Just wanted to vent.

Agreed. As you say, it's not that difficult.

Slavic languages are hard for non Slavs. People mispronounce my name all the time.

Just the other day a receptionist who happened to be African American yelled at me for having an unusual name. I found that ironic.

In the coded message, they used "upmost", which is not even a word. It's "utmost".
