You’re having a baby girl and you want to name her after your beloved grandmother, whose name was pronounced the same as “Elizabeth,” but has a highly unconventional spelling.

Do you stick with the unconventional spelling, or do you “normalize” it?
  • Stay with the unconventional spelling.
  • “Normalize” it to the conventional spelling.
  • I hybridize it somehow; not the conventional spelling, but not the extreme odd spelling of the original either.
  • Something else.

Basically a prince and his non-royal girlfriend are found out by the prince’s mother, the Queen. She puts the woman in an arena where she can choose between two doors—one has a gentleman whom she will marry or a tiger which will devour her. The prince hates the gentleman already because he sees him as a rival. The prince knows which door is which. His lover looks to him for help. He signals which door to open. What does she find behind it?

  • The gentleman
  • The tiger

You are the manager for a presidential candidate’s campaign (or political-party chairman.) It’s just a few weeks before Election Day, but some huge scandal is threatening to break loose about your party or candidate that could torpedo your election prospects. What do you do?

  • Allow the scandal to break loose - transparency is best
  • Suppress the scandal until after Election Day

Instead of either choice in Velocity’s poll above:

Announce the scandal publicly yourselves, along with whatever you’re going to do about it. After all, otherwise your opposition is likely to break the news just before voting starts, while putting the worst spin on it possible; and in addition will be able to accuse you of covering it up.

  • Yes
  • No
  • Other
