Today, some of my students were debating whether a hip-hop artist spells his name L’il Wayne, Lil’ Wayne, or Lil Wayne. If only teenagers would care as much about their writing assignments as they do about the details of artists and bands!
 
This guy can spell his name however he wants. However, there are rules [...]]]></description>
