"Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg" - the corrected spelling for the place with the longest name in the US. For years, signs pointing to the lake in Webster, Massachusetts, have carried a misplaced "o" at letter 20 where a "u" should be, and an "h" at letter 38 which should be an "n" - but all 17 "g" were present and correct. Now the local newspaper has unearthed the correct spelling, and the signs are to be changed.
