It's not just stories I go nuts on little stuff, BTW, I emailed a college instructor last week because the online unit text had an example that used the phonetic spelling for garçon as garyon and then spelled it in the narrative explanation as gargon. I was like... "Um, no it's pronounced garson and use the cedilla please. Please tell whoever pushed this out to you to push out to us to fix it or stop using it." It was in the language development unit for heaven's sake! 😆

I had a Lebanese History Professor once upon a time that would rain down hellfire if you ever did two things...

• Said "Sahara Desert" as Sahara is Arabic for Desert.  "You don't call it desert desert!!!"
• Using the phonetic "Koran" vs "Qur'an" for the Islamic Holy Book.

It sticks in my mind for a couple of reasons. He was VERY emphatic about it.  and his son was in my English Lit class and was great to sit behind. 👼
