Masters of the King's English

Can anyone pinpoint the moment when people began to insist on inserting an extra "k", or hard "c" in some cases, in the word "escape"?

Brief English lesson.....Journey did not title their great 80's album "Ekscape", Rupert Holmes did not implore his secret lover from the personal ads (who turned out to be his wife) to "write to me and ecscape", and the SUV you drive is NOT a Ford "Eckscape".

Just trying to make a small contribution toward making the world a better place.....one grammatical correction at a time.

In our next installment, I will explain that the vehicles that drive in a continuous loop around a track are NOT "Nascars".

Things That Don't Add Up, Pt. 1

I'm sitting here listening to my Chris Isaak channel on Pandora, and something occurs to me. Presumably, most artists write their songs based on experience. As big of a fan of his as I've always been (and on a side note, put his old Showtime show on DVD already!!), the common theme of every song he's ever recorded has been that this guy has had his heart stepped on, stomped flat three ways to the weekend, and possibly eaten more than once......but I can't verify the last one so please don't quote me.

Chris, buddy, you're A ROCK STAR!! Of all the problems a rock star should have, women should be right at the bottom......just above not having ONLY green M&M's in your dressing room like your tour rider called for. Perhaps it's time to take a look in the mirror and realize that the problem could be YOU!
