Mogwai correction.

[Yesspaz]

Incorrect: Mogwai - Year 2000 Non-Compliant Cardia
Correct: Mogwai - Year 200 Non-Compliant Kardia

They use the Greek spelling kapdia.

Translated: heart
Transliterated: cardia
Actual Greek Word: kapdia, (P = R )

while we're all duly impressed with your etymological prowess, the Mogwai home page says you're wrong (as does All Music Guide, Matador Records, and CD Universe)

Next!

:D

:D Really? I'll have to look into that...

[Yesspaz]

Well I'll be. I just looked at the cd case an it IS "Cardia." Why did I think "Kardia?" The only thing I can think is that because I study Greek I assumed it was Kardia. Huh, well, "correction" solved. Good job Jim.:surrender

[progdirjim]

I especially enjoyed "rejecting" the correction, because immediately prior to reading it, I had read Roger's post in another thread where he said "the only person I don't check is Yesspaz because he does the same level of research" hahahahahaha!!

all in fun...:haha:

Well, this IS a corrections forum, Rick...

Roger -Dot- Lee, can out PITA anyone in the best two falls out of three, and will challenge almost any takers. No, this isn't a challenge.

PS, I think this one can be locked now.O_o

[roger]

sorry for this, and delete it if necessary to retain the purity of the thread, but any idea why I can't see these forums on the main page anymore? the whole "Station News" section doesn't show up... I got here by following a link from the "who's online" page. (Rick was here..)

:alien:

[Yesspaz]

Eureka! :eureka: I knew there was something wrong with it! Look closely and it says "Yea" when it should say "Year" instead. Hoo-hah!
