Please read the discussion page before making changes to Big Brother (USA season 7) again. Comments were placed in the article for a reason, which you would've known had you read the talk page. The information contained within the Big Brother (USA season 7) article is based on live feeds, not CBS's airing of the show. Thanks. --Mr. Brown 02:12, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Importance of Being Earnest
You unwisely reverted all my changes in this article from "Ernest" back to "Earnest". The title of the play is The Importance of being Earnest. Earnest is an adjective [1] meaning eager or willing, open etc. Ernest is a Christian name. The point of the play is that the lead character John Worthing invents a new identity and uses the name "Ernest" in town and "Jack" in the country. At the end of the play, he discovers that his real Christian names are indeed "John" and "Ernest", which gives rise to the punch line in the play's last line "...I’ve now realised for the first time in my life the vital Importance of Being Earnest". In other words, it's a pun on Ernest/Earnest, a mild joke which audiences would have found quite charming. A more detailed reading of the play might prove useful. see the Complete text of the play.
