Steve Haynie Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Quote Hard Rock officials say the typo was corrected Thursday afternoon by removing the extra vinyl letter. So does it now say "RHYTH M"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie G. Moseley Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Uh, make that two knobs, a pickup, a bridge, and a tailpiece...and a giant strap button, I guess...but I was impressed by how close the color of the structure (122 ft. tall) is to the factory finish on that model...

Willie G. Moseley Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 That kind of misspelling dates back over 40 years. The Atlanta Rhythm Section performed at a 1977 "Day on the Green" in Oakland; mobile housing was provided for individual bands, where the members could hang out before and after their performances. The sign on the trailer provided for the A.R.S. read “Atlanta Rythem (sic) Section”, according to Rodney Mills, who ran the sound at live shows at that time. He kept the misspelled item as a souvenir because nobody else wanted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the misspelling of "rhythm" probably dates back to shortly after the creation of the word "rhythm." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Dante, the Italian poet, famous for Paradiso😎, Pergatorio 😗 and Inferno 👿 (fairly heavy reading if I'm honest) is credited with inventing the "Italian" language. Before Dante, Italian had no spelling per se but was a phonetic language so you pronounced every letter you saw. The English language has oddities within it, that means it is not logical. Having said that, Dante was a poet 800 years ago so English spelling no matter how odd should have been mastered by now and there is no excuse for anything of this importance being wrong. Sack him.
