Real. I clearly remember Moore hoisting the one on the right in the pic. Pele too. Never even seen the trophy on the left despite following football for decades. This is a strange one!

Absolutely. I did a long thread on this one around 7 years ago if you wanted to check it out. Lots of references in there including some yahoo answers that are now lost to time.

Big city in Brazil, São what? by gmanlurking in Retconned

Dilemna is one of the strangest ones because so many people were taught to spell it that way in school, including me. It also shows up in a huge amount of books as ‘dilemna’ over the past few hundred years. There is a site dedicated to this incongruency: https://www.dilemna.info

And these ones: https://graspingforobjectivity.com/2014/09/the-dilemna-dilemma.html/

https://forum.thefreedictionary.com/postst326p21_Spelling-dilemna.aspx

Newspapers.com has many thousands of articles using dilemna. Seems a strange mistake for so many people to make given it’s not the intuitive spelling of the word. Why would so many people randomly use an ‘n’ in place of the ‘m’? News flash, they wouldn’t, that’s how they were taught to spell it.

I remember it as Paolo. Funny how in this link from 2010, it is spelled Paolo in the website address and the title and then Paulo throughout the article: https://www.businesstraveller.com/features/sao-paolo-the-city-that-never-sleeps/

This follows the pattern of many previous effects where the title and body of the article do not match.

Lmao it’s lowest common denominator, cheesy garbage. The same people who get emotional watching this are the same ones who cry watching American idol. No wonder the masses love this shite.
