OK, I really hate to be a booger about this, but is there a reason everyone
keeps spelling Tir na nOg as Tir nan Og? Is this some Irish dialect I'm
simply not aware of?

Again, I'm sorry, but it grates on me the same way it does when someone
substitutes an auxilliary "e" for an umlaut (i.e. Goethe), even though I know
that that particular form is accepted and correct. If I'm simply displaying
my ignorance, please correct me, but I'm fairly confident that Tir na nOg
(with the little accent guy over the O) is correct...
