Somebody put this up yesterday , but I cant find it so here is is again.
Sara Tweeted:
"The number of people misspelling American Pharaoh. Hilarious."
Actually the people who have written "American Pharoah" are correct and Sara Ganim is dead wrong.
From Wikipedia:
"American Pharoah's name is inspired by that of his sire, Pioneerof the Nile, and his dam's sire, Yankee Gentleman.[20] The horse's name also acknowledges Zayat's own dual Egyptian-American background.[21] The misspelling of "Pharaoh" is permanent, but inadvertent. Zayat originally claimed that the spelling was the result of an error by The Jockey Club, but the organization's president stated, "The name request for the 2012 colt American Pharoah was submitted electronically on January 25, 2014, through The Jockey Club's interactive registration site. Since the name met all of the criteria for naming and was available, it was granted exactly as it was spelled on the digital name application." Zayat later retracted his statement.[22][d]
Zayat's wife, Joanne, offered another explanation for the name's origins to a local news reporter just before the Preakness. Zayat's son, Justin, ran a contest on social media in which fans could submit names for the horse. The winning entry had "Pharaoh" misspelled, she said. "Justin cut and pasted the name from [the winner's] email, and sent it to the Jockey Club."[23][24] Marsha Baumgartner of Barnett, Missouri, who submitted the winning entry, told The New York Times, "I don't want to assign blame," but "I looked up the spelling before I entered." Nonetheless, Baumgartner minimized the controversy, stating, "Horses can't spell, anyway."[
So, if we are talking about a ruler of ancient Egypt, it's Pharaoh, but if we are talking about the 2015 winner of the Triple Crown, it's Pharoah. It appears the ineffable Ms. Ganim does not know what she is talking about, and that her intended mockery of others is actually unintentional self-mockery.
So she does not know what she is talking about and has tweeted it for the whole world to see. Too bad there was not a secret GJ that she could illegally get leaks from to get it "straight." What are the chances that a woman who did not do a simple Wikipedia search got the Sandusky story right?
