You guys spelt it wrong. :(

How should it be spelt? We will fix it - Dr Haggis - Talk 10:46, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)

My thoughts on spelling: There is a Beauregard Parish in Louisiana, and Toregard seems to be a Swedish last name. "Doregard" looks to me like the first syllable should sound like "door", whereas "Deauregard" looks like the first syllable should sound like "dough". It sounds like people in lackey pronounce the first syllable as "dough". Mister Mister 19:26, 5 Dec 2004 (MST)

Deauregard vs. Doreauxgard

For those of you wondering what happened to "Deauregard", much less "Doregard", you can rest assured that we finally have the official say on the TBC-sanctioned spelling of our favorite cantaloupe's name: If you take a look at weeklies.xml (you may have to go to View > Source in your browser to avoid the XML error) and scroll down toward the bottom of the list of character names, you'll see quite clearly the name "Doreauxgard". — InterruptorJones[[]]

This is so cool. Good work Jones. Remember when some people thought it started with a "T"? Wow, those were the days. -- Tom 18:19, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
