I always marveled at the title "A Street Car Named Desire" because most people took the word "desire" to mean the human emotion whose name is spelled the same way.

In reality "Desire" is a proper noun and is actually pronounced as "dez'-array".

* I had phonics in school back in the 50's, but I don't remember much about phonetic spelling, so if you're a member of the phonetics "Oh-Oh Squad", be advised that I already know it's wrong.

So it’s a streetcar named after a man.
