Quotations
1908 Lucy Maud Montgomery: Anne of the Green Gables
::-- But if you call me Anne please call me Anne spelled with an e."
::"What difference does it make how it's spelled?" asked Marilla with another rusty smile as she picked up the teapot.
::"Oh, it makes such a difference. It looks so much nicer. When you hear a name pronounced can't you always see it in your mind, just as if it was printed out? I can, and A-n-n looks dreadful, but A-n-n-e looks so much more distinguished. --
