After all the coin that's about to come his way, you would think that Eduardo Saverin would know how to spell the name of his co-founder at Facebook. Apparently not.
In a post on his personal Facebook page, Saverin offered props to one `Mark Zukerberg.'
On the eve of the Facebook public float, 8 plus year in the making, I as co-founder wanted to look back and cherish Facebook's early beginning. Congrats to everyone involved in the project from day one till today, and I especially wanted to congratulate Mark Zukerberg on keeping tremendous stead-fast focus, however hard that was, on making the world a more open and connected place.
In the Portuguese version of that note posted by Saverin, who was born in Brazil, Zuckerberg was also referred to as "Zukerberg."
Saverin also posted a screen image of Facebook when it was still a Harvard dorm project.
