The Brits have been stuffing extra "u"s in some of our words for far too long. It's time we stuff one of their names with an extra "o." Evil

Go Alan!
And go Jon!

And, I suspect, go auto-correct!

I say this because I was recently doing a search for "Godel", and it kept getting changed to "yodel".

His name is "Turing". I don't think we honor him by misspelling his name.
