The Infinite Wisdom™ of the Infosphere is our decision to an unconfirmed dispute. Disputes which cannot be confirmed by 20th Century Fox or Futurama's makers. Therefore we must at times decide based on what feel is the most likely position.
Cases
Article(s) of interest | Case | Type | Result Reasoning |
Resolved? |
---|---|---|---|---|
Bender Bending Rodríguez | The usage of an acute over the 'i' in Bender's surname. | Name/spelling | Rodríguez Based on the fact that he is from Mexico, so his native language is most likely Spanish. In Spanish, the i in Rodríguez is written with an acute, but not in English. Given his origins, he most likely uses the Spanish spelling. (Discussion) |
Yes |
None, yet. | Name of the unnamed British Robot in The Beast with a Billion Backs Suggested names include "Blatherbot" |
Name | not yet resolved | No |
Dr. John A. Zoidberg | Spelling of "woop" (sound uttered by Dr. Zoidberg) Alternative spellings include "whoop" and "wop". |
Spelling | woop Due to the long o, and transcript relations. (Discussion) |
Yes |
Glurmo | What way "Glurmo" should be spelt. Alternative spellings include "Glermo". |
Spelling | Glurmo Due to his relation to Slurm. |
Yes |
Xanthor | What way "Xanthor" should be spelt. Alternative spellings include "Xanfor", "Zanfor" and "Zanthor". |
Spelling | Xanthor Otherwise it would have little meaning. See article for explanation. |
Yes |
The Day the Earth Stood Stupid, The Big Brain, Transcript | How "reason" was misspelt. Alternative spellings include "raisin". |
Spelling | rason It is pronounced similar to, say "raisin", but "rason" is a much more reasonable misspelling of "reason". As it would make "sense" for Fry to leave out the e. Instead of replacing a and o with i. |
Yes |
