Not a LOT of difference between a D and a double-D.

In reply to: >I wouldn't mind having Yul for a page turner! but... isn't he still dead?! Ha! Now our production really would get stunning audiences if Yul were our page turner! Conclusive proof of life after death! Wow! Thanks for the correction, tsuwm. I somehow missed Yul's passing.

Seems many folks think yad(d)a was invented for the Seinfeld show, but some trace it back to Lenny Bruce. I remember it being used in a David Frye record about Watergate back in the early '70s where the Ron Steiger prisoner character taunts the warden with a cry of "Yadda yadda Warden!" I looked in Harkavy's Yiddish-English-Hebrew Dictionary and found an entry for yaden 'to vex'. That would mean that yade could be an imperative form. A possible connection, not. Whatever.

I'm pretty sure Yul Brynner is. Dunno about Yul Brenner.

This is a good place to get facts striaght. On this website I have been corrected--and rightly so--on numerous factual errors. And I am very happy, Faldage, to add to your list of WW-Corrected-Again the spelling of Yul's last name. Yule Brynner. Got it. Yule Brynner.

As a disinterested (!) observer, Dub2, I must inquire: Where perzackly® did *you misspell Yul's last name?
