Finnegans Fisted

Once upon a time, James Joyce wrote a book called:

Finnegans Wake

That's not:

Finnegan's Wake

But some blogger's get the title wrong! Which means they don't understand the book at all. This blog has two missions. One, educate the ignorant. Two, correct all such mistakes world wide. And three, anything else.

Harry Hope and the Prisoner of the Tower

Harry, at Harry's Hope Saloon, apart from being blessed with the ability to express strange and unidentifiable noises phonetically, has been blessed to come across this "quite accidently." It seems he more deeply appreciates it than others, by comparison, in fact. I do hope he had a lovely Fourth of July.

Poor Harry - fearless war hero and braveheart, true American - feels misrepresented by the Freedom Tower. He believes the name to be embarrassing. Perhaps he'd prefer the name Free'dom To'wer, as, after all, one of his favorite novels is Finnegan's Wake. Time to awake Harry Hope.

Annie sagt, daß ich dieses blog erhalte. Sie sagt, daß es über Fehlbuchstabierung ist. Aber ich denke, sie über Leuten wie mir lustig machen, weil, selbst wenn ich sagte, daß "OH- es ist, über das stupity der Leute, die nicht finnigans gegen Apostroph der finnigan's erhalten," ich hatte fehlbuchstabiert gerade Stupidity bin.

Which according to google translate means:

- Annie says that I receive this blog. She says that it is over false spelling. But think I, it merry over people like me make, because, even if I said that "Oh is it, about stupity the people, which do not receive finnigans against apostrophe finnigan's," I had falsespell straight Stupidity am.

Now, shouldn't that be Finnegans?

babelfish translation sucks a lot of ass, incidentally.
