  • Back in 1968 after my junior year in college I was on vacation in Chile. Many young Chileans my age enjoyed discussing pop culture, past and present. It took me a while to figure out who Elvee Praylee was. Now whenever I see his name, even 40 years later, I always recall this early linguistic conundrum.
