yanceycravat Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I've been enjoying the new Christmas Promos for 2018. Anyone else catch this typo? I'm surprised I saw it. Looks like a mistake I'd make! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewhite2000 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I mean ... maybe Durante is famous for a song like "S'Wonderful, S'Marvelous" or something and "wonderful" was spelled with two L's in that song title? And this is a super-hip, knowledgeable reference? Trying to give them the benefit of the doubt? Or ... maybe it's just an awful mistake by a TCM employee who doesn't know how to spell ...

Dargo Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Hmmm...an extra 'L' here, huh Yancey?! Sorry, can't do anything about it at this time. (...ya see at the moment, I already have my hands full attempting to rid the English language of that darn superfluous letter 'U' that are in so many other words) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikisoo Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Funny you caught the typo! I absolutely believe it's just a mistake....c'mon, we ALL make mistakes. One of the oddest misspellings I see is "Till" as a shortened version of "Until". The original word ends with one L, why would you add another L to abbreviate it? "Till" is a wholly different meaning. Should be: 'Til we meet again. (that's what happens when you're an editor) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicalnovelty Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I'm not sure how to make this image show here, but if it works to click on to this link you can see another misspelling I caught on TCM back in 2009: Borgnine, Ernest (Borgine) TCM 012911.bmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepiatone Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I don't know if the OP pic is a still from a movie or not, and in that case( and in consideration of the kind of characters Durante played) the misspelling could have been intentional. But... There's NO excuse for "BORGINE"! If not, then it's a good abject lesson---- Be careful when you hire family. Sepiatone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
