Correcting the spelling of “Willy Loman”


* ''Theatre/DeathOfASalesman'': In the second act, there is a HopeSpot where Willie Loman decides to talk to his boss about being transferred to work in New York City, as he accepts that he's too old to be traveling up and down from New Jersey all the way to Massachusetts. While talking to his boss, Willie reminisces about his late boss, the new boss' father, and then brings up the idea of being transferred to only be a TravelingSalesman in New York City, only for his boss to tell him that lately his sales numbers have been so low that he's has become a liability to company and fires him. Willie tries to appeal to his ex-boss with the fact that he knew his father, but the ex-boss is unmoved, and when Willie tries negotiating a pay-cut, since he won't be traveling far, the boss just politely asks him to leave his office, and Willie eventually relents and leaves in defeat.
