A well-known Liberal told me yesterday that he made that mistake once - just once - and he was the admiring recipient of an obviously well-practised litany on the facts of life. The female version Marian, according to our Marian, is always spelled with an " A," and Marion, the male version, is spelled with an " O" .
Selon notre Marian, la version féminine de Marian s'écrit toujours avec un «a», et Marion, la version masculine, prend un «o».
