Even worse is people's ability to spell Friedrich Nietzsche.
It's not Nietche, nor Nitzsche.
Btw it's also not pronounced "Nitch" or "Neechee", but "Neets-shuh."

Hemingway's name is easy to spell. Then again if I remember right, Terry studies philosophy and whilst it is pretty bad if philosophy students can't spell Nietzsche, I'm sure it's a name lots of people struggle with (myself included).

Actually I find quite a lot of people get the difficult bit right, but the easy bit wrong, writing 'Neitzsche'.
And congrats, Bee, on being Definitely Doomed. Though as you're a mod, it doesn't show up. (I've just realised I am as well.)

My post probably made the whole thread pretentious by proxy.
And congarats on your Definite Doom, Hermes!

Most Niche Thread or something similar? It would doubtless have competition. Ta for that Pepper. I shall utilise Armrest as a nickname for any Ernests I might meet in the future. (Inconveniently I don't think I know any now.)

How about Most Nietzsche Thread? Ironically, I don't think this one would be much of a contender for that, unless it takes a sudden existentialist turn from this point.
