Rare example of spoken #keming:

In the Dutch quiz show 'Met het Mes op Tafel', the presenter Herman van der Zandt asked a question about the Shakespeare character 'Guildenstem'.

It is 'Guildenstern'.

Guess they should have picked a different font for the cards with the questions.

@venite I’d have thought that, too. But to be fair, it was the last in a row of characters, the question being ‘In which Shakespeare play do these characters appear?’ (Hamlet). So maybe he was reading on autopilot.
