I turned on the radio in the car and heard what was identified by the Radio Data System<\/a> information as a performance by the Metropolitan Opera of New York of Puccini’s Turnadot<\/i>. Whoever entered the information introduced a typo, because the correct spelling is Turan<\/u>dot<\/i>.\u00b9<\/p>\n I joked, “Oh no, it’s opera! Turnadoff!”<\/p>\n When I related this clever pun to an old friend (who is now an orchestra conductor), he came back with this joke:<\/p>\n “Estate of Puccini here. We’d like to lodge a copyright violation.”<\/p>\n “No, we’re in compliance, Turnadot is Fair Play.”<\/p>\n I don’t know whether to compliment him or berate him.<\/p>\n \u00b9 It’s hard to search the Internet for misspellings, because all the Web search engines “helpfully” fix the spelling for you, even if you tell them “No really, I want the misspelling.” I did find a Web site that listed the Metropolitan Opera performance as Turnadot<\/a>, so who knows. Maybe it’s a thing now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On the dot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1069,"featured_media":110434,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[103],"class_list":["post-111247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-oldnewthing","tag-non-computer"],"acf":[],"blog_post_summary":" On the dot.<\/p>\n","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/oldnewthing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/oldnewthing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/oldnewthing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/oldnewthing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1069"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/oldnewthing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=111247"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/oldnewthing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111247\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/oldnewthing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/oldnewthing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=111247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/oldnewthing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=111247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/oldnewthing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=111247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
