[Opinions] Re: Wdyt of Sybil?

I much prefer the Sibyl spelling (it's mythology, what can I say). I've heard of the MPD Sybil, but my Greek references over-ride modern type ones like that for most things. I like it; I'd use it.

What are the convulsions of a city in comparison with the insurrections of the soul?
Man is a depth still greater than the people.

Sibyl is actually the 'original' spelling, I guess, so maybe that would help with the Sybil/Sally Field-movie association a little. Or maybe more people would just misspell it. :-/ Then you have Cybil, but then there's the Cybil Shepherd association. After seeing her play Martha Stewart a couple of times, she's a little scary, too. LOL.
