Many People Confused Oprah & Opera — Hilarity Ensued
Brenna Ehrlich for Mashable:
Apparently, maker of browsers, Opera, has been getting fan mail for Oprah Winfrey for years now due to the similarity between their monikers — and the woeful degradation of the English language that renders such disparate names identical in the eyes of some.
None of these people that are so convinced of the language’s decline are able to provide a shred of evidence. (Other than their own stupid protestations.) I’d also love to know how you make the jump from degradation of the English language to people can’t see properly anymore.
What nostrich said.
