“Hemingway” is spelled with one m. Seriously. I’m not kidding. You can look it up. I only mention this because out of the last twenty times I’ve seen him mentioned on the internet, his name has not been spelled correctly once. This includes many articles by professional writers. Though most of these people misspelling his name are people listing him as one of their favorite authors(!). I don’t know whether these people are all just extremely oblivious or whether they’re only pretending to be literate (“Okay, gotta put something for ‘Books’ on MySpace. Hmm, let’s see … geez, man, the only thing thing I’ve read in the last ten years was the name of the contestant at the bottom of the screen on American Idol. Um … hmmm … how about that ‘Hemmingway’ guy. I’m pretty sure he was a writer. I think we were supposed to read something by him back in middle school. Okay, he’ll do.”), but in any event it needs stop. Please. Just stop.
