That might be too many syllables. But ask Dolly Parton what she thinks.

omg, I wish! Then BiH would have to amend its name to ‘Bosnia and Herzegovina and Awesomeness.’ Which is kinda clunky.

Is Elvira close enough (though it’s pronounced the olde way: el-veerah)?

Cool. What about “Jolene”?

*spit takes*
Thank you for the Elvis joke. I needed that laugh.

Geez, the whole “The Devil Made Me Do It” comedy routine clearly needs to be revived so this lady can hear it. If you can identify yourself as possessed, surely you are not.

She started it herself. It’s a private “nontraditional education center” and its page on Language Arts does not impress me favorably. Misspellings, random capitalization, parentheses that open and do not close…

I don’t think there were two grammatical sentences in a row in any of her apologies.
