John Scalzi asks for suggestions of songs that would sound cool played on a ukulele. Problem is, he misspells "ukulele" throughout the post, going with the common -- but wrong -- "ukelele".
Yeah, I know, this is incredible nitpicking. Thing is, I've had this word as a spelling pet-peeve of mine ever since this particular word's correct spelling actually became an important plot point in the movie In the Line of Fire, which is one of my favorite movies. And if you haven't seen it and you're wondering how a thriller about a Secret Service agent working to avert a Presidential assassination could possibly turn on the spelling of "ukulele", no, I'm not gonna tell you. Go rent it.
