Another way to manage these letters is to acknowledge that Chinese people have written something.

"Yorrick" should be spelled "Yorick". Per Wikipedia - and the Bard

That's how I spelled it too, but when it corrected to Yorrick I assumed I had been mistaken. Thanks for pointing that out. It's unusual for me to be on the winning end of a spelling discussion.

I agree, it should be Yorick, not Yorrick.

Nice quiz, like the rest of the series. A bit disappointed not to see Zola here. Not that j'accuse or anything!

How does zeitgeist "roughly" mean spirit of the times? Isn't that a pretty literal translation?
