One could go on in this vein forever, but let me just give you two. Two of what? You’ll see. A reader writes to say that, for a time, he thought the Godfather goombah was “Lou Cabrasi” (instead of Luca Brasi). Another reader writes to remind us of that great Irish general who commanded for the Soviets in World War II: Tim O’Shenko (Semyon Konstantinovich Timoshenko).
P.S. Care for a third? I have received mail addressed to “Jane Ordlinger.” (Not a very attractive name, in my opinon.) And, in my hometown, there was a man named Arch Naylor: whose mail would come addressed to “Art Schnaylor.”
Okay, I’m out.
