Is it "Thelonious" or "Thelmoious"?
  • @gedaliyah

    One of the funniest/most embarrassing things I've done all year... so far.

  • Is it "Thelonious" or "Thelmoious"?
  • @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.

  • Is it "Thelonious" or "Thelmoious"?
  • @foggy So are you saying his stage name ins “Thelonious”?

  • Is it "Thelonious" or "Thelmoious"?
  • @oxjox

    Sorry, I messed up the title.... His name on albums is "Thelonious"...

  • Is it "Thelonious" or "Thelmoious"?
  • @gedaliyah

    Sorry, I fixed the original question. Is it Thelonious or Thelmoious?

  • Is it "Thelonious" or "Thelmoious"?
  • @foggy

    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
