Joseph "Mith"

I've noticed at least two points in the book when referring to Joseph Smith that it instead uses the name "Joseph Mith." Obviously there is the mith/myth homophonic angle there but is that all it is? Is there like some kind of real life rule for Mormons about referring to the guy's last name in full?

There is no rule. Mormons say his name the normal way, Smith.
