   • 1971 Philip Roth, Our Gang (starring Tricky and his Friends), ISBN 039447886X, page 79:

     LEGAL COACH: Jimi Hendrix, Mr. President - the first name is spelled Jimi, not Jimmy, as you've written it here.

     TRICKY: Well, let's correct it, then, because that is just the sort of error, inadvertently made, that tends to be totally misconstrued by the press. Now I never claimed to know how to spell the names of every colored person in this country, but I will tell you this much: where someone's name is concerned, colored or not, he has the constitutional right to have it spelled correctly
