One more thing - the text in the trailer misspells Why's name several times. Here are the preferred rules for naming him in writing, as told by Why:
- "Why The Lucky Stiff" or "why the lucky stiff" - but never "Why the lucky stiff" or "Why the Lucky Stiff" - "Why" (for short, always capitalised like this) - "_why" (always lowercase) only if "Why" would be too grammatically ambiguous, like the start of a sentence, or for style. Generally people avoid the form 'Why', I suppose not wanting to think about if it's ambiguous in a particular context, but I think it's best to stick with the original intent. Surely too being confused just adds to the _mystery! :D — Jenna On Friday, 31 August 2012 at 10:53 AM, Kevin Triplett wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm producing a short documentary on Why The Lucky Stiff which will be shown > at RubyConf in Denver. > > I'd love to include details about camping in the film.
