Is it typical for a travel agent to add MR to your 1st name?

An example on the itinary would be: PATRICKMR BENNIGAN when his name is Patrick Bennigan.

Will this extra MR added to the 1st name prevent him from boarding since it's not a part of his name on the passport?

I think I have a clerical error that needs correction as I've never seen this with air tickets. Am I correct?

I sure am having communication issues when it comes to detail oriented matters. Guess that comes with the territory.

i've only dealt with Korean travel agents twice (original flight here, and vacation last winter) and both times they added the MR to my name. In fact, they merged my first and middle names together both times (like BENNIGAN, PATRICKSEANMR). no problems at the airport, here or in the states.

Haven't done much traveling?
They always add the MR or MS, at least everytime I've got a plane ticket.

OK, great. Thanx. It looks like it's all good then. I know in America if one letter was wrong, missing, or added when comparing to your passport, you're not going to get on that flight and will be arrested if you attempt to argue so Americans are warned again and again to ensure each letter of the name on the ticket is correcto to the T when booking flights.

Thank goodness American ideology and strict rules don't apply outside the USA, because that's heartless brutal shit they got going on these days.

lucky i'm a guy ! (altho' i once had a passport renewed which had my gender down as female - that was a worry)
