Over 40. Father of two. Happily married. Middle class. White. American. Aware of my privilege.
One of the funniest/most embarrassing things I've done all year... so far.
@gedaliyah OMG. I figured it out.
I was using a Firefox extension that was changing “Elon” to “Elmo”… I didn’t put a space before and after “Elon” in the prompt, so it was changing it everywhere. Even within words.
@foggy So are you saying his stage name ins “Thelonious”?
Sorry, I messed up the title.... His name on albums is "Thelonious"...
Sorry, I fixed the original question. Is it Thelonious or Thelmoious?
Then why is it "Thelonious" on his album covers?
Is it "Thelonious" or "Thelmoious"?
Is it "Thelonious" or "Thelmoious"?
I can't find any good articles discussing the reasons for the differences in the spelling of Monk's first name/stage name. His wiki page says his birth name is "Thelious Monk Jr."
Surely someone has written about this, right?
EDIT: I forgot I was using a Firefox extension that swaps “Elon” to “Elmo” and I guess it was doing it within words too. LOL
