It's Miss Havisham......

Ok, not everyone is familiar with Great Expectations. Not everyone is a fan of Dickens.
However. It is not Mrs Haversham, Miss Haversham or any other variant which crops up frequently on here.
Someone has a user name including "Miss Haversham", which I find very annoying. It's Miss Havisham . So I'm having my pedantic rant on here, rather than correcting them. Rant over, but I may be back. As you were.

It’s not even user names, it’s just people talking about Wuthering Heights!

(Generally in the context of it not being ‘romantic’ and Heathcliff and Cathy not being nice or relatable, which they seem to think is Emily Brontë getting it wrong, rather than their own misconceptions about a novel that was never going to involve meet-cutes or everyone living happily ever after.)

I blame Kate Bush.
