It's funny ... I'd put "Marston's" originally, then when reading before sending decided it didn't look right, so changed it to "Marsten's" and decided that was no better, then went for "Marsden's" which looked marginally better so I pressed Send!
A clear example of how thinking doesn't help sometimes.
(Alan to group: "Oh, so Neil thinks sometimes?!")
Your comment reminds me of a friend of mine (called Wayne, poor lad) who was rather pedantic by nature and would always mention the slightest thing that was incorrect, not quite true, etc. One day at his mum's house (witnessed by another friend who was there at the time) Wayne was being typically pedantic about something or other and his mum, losing it, shouted "Oh Wayne, I'm sick and tired of your pedanticness!".
After a tense pause Wayne said, "Actually Mum, I think you'll find the word is pedantry".
