China Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 How could they have possibly screwed that up? Wrong spelling on signs for Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggago-ggchaubunagungamaugg Its claim to fame is its name - one of the world's longest. So you might expect those writing signs to Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg to try extra hard to copy it down correctly. But it has emerged that directions to the beauty spot have been spelled wrong for years. The Indian name, which means 'The fishing place at the boundaries, the neutral meeting ground', was written with an O at letter 20 in place of a U and an H at letter 38 instead of an N. Officials in Webster, Massachusetts, found the error by consulting historical books and have promised to correct it. Many residents in the small town do not even try to pronounce its name, simply referring to it as Lake Webster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
