A Typo DOES Make a Difference in Title

I had a specific errand to run this morning. I went to the Honolulu Department of Motor Vehicles (Satellite City Hall) at Pearlridge Shopping Center to correct 'someones' mistake.  Seems that in January it was time to renew my registration for my one year old car and lo and behold I notice that my husband's name is spelled wrong. It says, GART instead of GARY.

The only "GART" I could find online was from Wikipedia....Gart is an abbreviation of The Graphics Address Remapping Table (GART) is an I/O memory management unit (IOMMU) used by AGP and PCI Express graphics cards, through which textures, polygon meshes and other data is loaded directly from the computer's physical memory utilizing DMA.

Just thought I'd clarify that point because this was the second time going to correct this (because I didn't have my title with me last time) and this is what I told the lady,"I am not married to a GART nor do I believe there are any GART's in Hawaii...... And someone needs to correct this."

I whipped out my purchase contract for my car (I had traded in and paid cash for the rest so I had full title, contract, registration, safety inspection, insurance card in hand) to show them that ALL paperwork for the car was in order.....except for the Title and Registration had a typo. One LETTER typo. One. But it made all the difference in the world. My husband's name WAS NOT .....Gart.

I explain to the girl, "The letter T and Y are located next to each other on the keyboard. You think it may have been a typo?"  (in my head I'm saying.....duh....)  She then says she will fax a request to the Honolulu Main Office of DMV and if it is their mistake they will reissue a 'revised title' and registration. If it is not their mistake I will have to go back to the dealership and they will have to correct the paperwork and send it in. (What part of the contract didn't she see?)

Within 15 minutes they receive a confirmation fax....it was THEIR clerk's mistake and they have reissued a 'clear title' (thought I'd make it sound RE related lol) and registration. 

It took one year and two months to notice the mistake ....and two trips to get this corrected........ All for a "Y".
