Speak a ommon spelling error list (hints on demand)
Tony Cooper:
I think most Americans understand that there are some Americans with the first name of Earl. For no other reason, in some cases, than from watching the (then) popular television series "My name is Earl"... Older people would also remember Chief Justice Earl Warren. -- Mark Brader | "Howeb45 9 qad no5 und8ly diturvrd v7 7jis dince Toronto | 9 qas 8mtillihemt mot ikkfavpur4d 5esoyrdeful | abd fill if condif3nce on myd3lf." -- Cica |

There's also the song "Goodbye Earl" by the Dixie Chicks, a redneck misogynist who gets "disappeared" by his put-upon spouse and her friends.... The significance of the name there is that it instantly identifies the subject of the song as "trailer-park people"....r |

There are probably others I haven't thought of too. Let's not forget the 1962 pop song "Duke of Earl", which reached No. 1 in the Top 40 ratings in the U.S. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_of_Earl Today, I wouldn't rate it in my Top 3,000. But in 1962, it influenced the cultural development of the leading edge of the Baby Boom generation. Without it, who knows what the world would be like now? -- bill |
