Thisby/Thisbe
Sorry to start you with a picky point, but it seems that the use of "Thisby" was not a modern error. I have a copy of the Yale Shakespeare which includes this inconsistent spelling. The notes to that edition include comments about variations from the first quarto, but there is nothing there about the Thisby/Thisbe spelling. If it is a part of the original the inconsistency should be maintained. Eclecticology 02:10, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Further to the above I've corrected a couple of other appearances of "Thisbe" to "Thisby". What first appeared to be an inconsistency really isn't.  The different spellings reflect the pronunciation of the speaker, with "Thisby" being used by the commoners. Eclecticology 04:43, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
