Today I had to be corrected by the Plucky Sidekick down on Main Street

 I knew something was wrong when the call 📞 came in for me to report to the office 🏢 of the Carroll News earlier today.

 David was the bearer of the scolding as it turns out that after mispelling Alan’s first name (correctly spelled Allen) for a year, I was also guilty of pronouncing his last name incorrectly. I had spent many a moon 🌙 watching Todd Worrell pitch for the St.Louis Cardinals and later the LA Dodgers. Todd’s last name was pronounced Wore-L in the midwest and West Coast so I assumed it was pronounced that way everywhere.

 In a moment of weakness after David told me the correct way to say it was Whirl, I answered back no its not.

 David had no choice but to take matters into his own hands. Thankfully he didn’t leave any visible markings…..

Of course that just a little Carroll News humor but know this, if I am not saying a name correctly PLEASE let me know. If no one tells me after the first time the situation won’t correct itself.

 Same goes with a misspelling, there are a large number of names one goes through when they are trying hard to list every member of every team / organization.

 We welcome corrections !
