Pook- I thought there were two girl's names, Penelopey and Penelope to rhyme with cantalope. Not to mention those two diseases noomonia and puhmonia.
Maybe min-IZ-er-ees was an editorial thought associated with misery?

Twosleeepy - thanks I was too lazy to look up the correct word mermelada. The stuff made with Seville oranges is certainly available in Seville stores but its name includes neither of the words mermelada nor naranja which made asking for it difficult. The fruit which are too bitter to eat as fruit are not considered oranges but have a different term just as we have for tangerines or kumquats.
