Even the Best Bloggers Make Mistakes
I have received numerous (or zero) emails about why my blog is entitled OshKoskMyGosh. To be frank with you all, that was a typo. The title should actually be OshKoshMyGosh, obviously. You may ask me, "Keemberhoo, why don't you just change the name of your blog to OshKoshMyGosh?". But that would be like Celine Dion changing her name to Feline Dion. Once fame has been established, a "backspace" or a "delete" button doesn't exist anymore.

Other times, newspaper mastheads are important for spelling.

Cleveland, OH, obtained its name on July 22, 1796 when surveyors of the Connecticut Land Company laid out Connecticut's Western Reserve into townships and a capital city they named "Cleaveland" after their leader, General Moses Cleaveland. The Village of Cleaveland was incorporated on December 23, 1814. The spelling of the city's name was later changed to "Cleveland" when, in 1831, an "a" was dropped so the name could fit a newspaper's masthead.
