I seriously doubt that this is what's going on.

This is probably ridiculous, but for some reason seeing Marten referred to as Martin always really bugs me. I don't know why, exactly. Maybe because to me, they're very different names and it would be like Hanners being referred to as Hanna, Dora as Dorothee, Marigold as Maria, Dale as David etc. It's just not them if the name's wrong...
sluthy:
Yes alright I screwed up Martin/Marten. I was at work and I rushed it, fixed now.
GarandMarine:
Veronica turns the tables!

I'd guess that being German causes it, as Martin is a common German name, which is pronounced like Mar-teen, the stress being on the second syllable. So it is a very different name than Marten.
Schmorgluck:
I love how Jeph tends to go for "comedy of raw honesty" instead of the more common "comedy of errors".
