raven4x4x Group: Members Posts: 1535 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: Feb. 08 2002, 03:55 I own the LP of Five Miles Out, with the childish dog on the back, and I noticed that on the track listing of the record it says "Mount Teide", but on the record itself it says "Mount Teidi". On my CD it's "Mount Teide". Which one is officially correct. NB: I always use "Mount Teide" www.global.net.au/~holmangp -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

Man In Rain Group: Members Posts: 84 Joined: Sep. 2000 Posted: Feb. 08 2002, 04:08 I guess the correct version is Teide. Mount Teide is a volcanic mountain at the centre of the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands. At 3,718 m, it is the highest point on Spanish soil. Back to top

larstangmark Group: Members Posts: 1759 Joined: Mar. 2005 Posted: Dec. 23 2019, 14:04 Depends if you mean the song or the mountain. Perhaps the mis-spelling was deliberate?

It probably depends on whether he's Mike Oldfield or Michael Oldfield. According to a recent post they're different people.   Back to top

I'm not so sure it's a typo. Rick could very well have spelled it wrong, thinking it's the right way to spell it. Or he thought he'd just changed the spelling for the hell of it, since everyone's forgotten about poor old Sisphpos by now. -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

nightspore Group: Members Posts: 4761 Joined: Mar. 2008 Posted: Dec. 25 2019, 06:04 I always thought "Sisyphos", or however it's spelt, was one of Pink Floyd's best tracks, along with "The Narrow Way". "Cymbaline" is another "misspelling" of course, if you take Shakespeare as canonical, which I don't. Completely irrelevant dig at Shakespeare: it's irritating that "crab" in his plays always refers to crab apples, and not the denizens of the deep we all love so much (Pinchy? . ) Back to top

omgmo Group: Members Posts: 148 Joined: Mar. 2018 Posted: Dec. 25 2019, 11:15 I have been thinking that, in general, the "generally accepted" spelling of many words is wrong, based on their meaning and possible true etymology. I have even thought that this has been intentional (by some "regulatory" "authorities" of language) in order for the naive speaker not to know what they really talk about, and, furthermore, not to be able to think productively and solve their everyday, simple, or more serious, problems. BUT I DON'T REALLY KNOW Just thoughts... happy birthday, Lars and happy Christmas to everyone Back to top

nightspore Group: Members Posts: 4761 Joined: Mar. 2008 Posted: Dec. 25 2019, 17:13 I agree. You see words originally spelt with a "K" owing to their Greek origin ending up spelt with a "C" because of some Romanizing or whatever influence. Yes, happy birthday Lars (or should that be "Larc" (lunate sigma) becoming "Lark"?   It's Boxing Day in Australia, and it should be compulsory for people to spend the entire day listening to Mike Oldfield Boxed   Back to top
