The second, and best one I've ever heard, requires knowing that the 20th century Hungarian composer Zoltan Kodaly's last name is actually pronounced "KO-DIE." Apparently (and a true story), someone called up a large British music publisher asking for a copy of a song called "Could I But Express in Song." The clerk couldn't find it, as he was looking for a non-existant composition called: "Kodaly: Buttocks Pressing Song."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733835506387656648.post-55937376769286831662011-01-19T11:18:57.696-05:002011-01-19T11:18:57.696-05:00It's one of the more irritating iPad features,...It's one of the more irritating iPad features, its inability to recognize "its" as a word without tossing in an apostrophe.
