I just noticed that I misspelled my account name. Is there a way to correct this? There isn't supposed to be a "y," don't know how I missed the extra letter when I made the account. :(

Only by signing up a new account yourself. See the Forum FAQ (http://ubuntuforums.org/announcement.php?f=48) :)

From the FAQ
Can I change my username?
No. Usernames can not be changed - dashes can not be added, lowercase cannot be made uppercase, etc. However, you may choose to create a new account. The only exceptions to this are extreme cases, such as when a user has been harassed by another user.
Note: If you do make a new account, you will have to transfer all information yourself, as we will not do this for you. Also, we can't transfer your statistics (beans, account age and the like) to the new account.

If you decide to create another account please contact the Admin. :)
