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. I've got a hunch that Bee wouldn't allow such wanton pretentiousness

Another name so-called professional writers get wrong time and again: Martin Scorsese... not Martin Scorcese. Btw it's pronounced like that Shane Meadows film--"Scor-zay-zee".

You dug up this thread for that? I'm actually pronouncing it closer to Scor-say-see (or Scor-seh-see), which is how Marty pronounces it. Your pronunciation is how the Italians would say it. Btw, it still bugs me when I see Nietzsche spelt wrong in journalistic writing (it's pretentious to pose as a journalist if you can't double-check your names).

I'm always surprised by the number of people who get the difficult bit of 'Nietzsche' right and the easy bit wrong, and write 'Neitzsche'.
EDIT: Bother, I already said that.

Speaking of Nietzsche, when used that quote of his in 'Black Ink' I had completely forgotten when it had been used in TSS.

I cringe at myself in this thread 5 years ago

My trick was to remember that there were five consonants, but now it's just to remember "i before e, especially after N."
