True, although cl4u53w1t2 comes in with the "correct spelling", when he is more popularly known as "William Tell". The reason for this? To ensure technical accuracy and try to educate people for future reference? No. He wishes to seem superior to everyone else because he knows the proper, but unknown, spelling of a name.
no. the point is: wilhelm tell is a (mythical) character from (the german-speaking part of) switzerland. wilhelm is a proper name. if i was talking about william shakespeare, i wouldn't call him wilhelm shakespeare since william is his proper name. same goes for king george V. (georg V.), margaret (margarete) thatcher etc.

and that character is definitely better known as wilhelm tell

you're on an english speaking forum

time and time again you seem to 'thrive' off correcting people about cross-lingual references... the amount of times you have said to me "hurf durf i hear you have read author 'x', shame not in the original language like me!" or "ho ho ho watch film 'y', it's in spanish so you won't understand it but watch it anyway because i can!"... it's like a little form of ego-stroking for you.

in western folklore (i.e. english speaking, anglophone world), it's william tell. the americans and english don't call him wilhelm.

if you want to call margaret thatcher 'margarete thatcher' in germany with your german friends... that's your prerogative.

you're just being absurd for the sake of suiting a shitty argument

in popular culture, it's william tell

the western world popularly knows Nietzsche's first name to be Friedrich

so moot point, really

I see it to now.

Even if it was real, it wouldn't be that impressive.

I love the people who feel the need to point out it's fake.

Are they under the impression that a .50 cal bullet only does damage the size of its diameter?

No we are not, but it's quite obvious it's still a fake
