OnSunday night, a now-immortalSuccessionphrase entered the lexicon: You cant make a Tomelette without breaking some Greggs.

This raised some questions for me.

For one, of all the possible ways to spell Tomlette, why go that way?

Why not Tomelette, or even Tomelet?

An omlette, after all, isnt a thing.

But why not simply Gregs?

And if this is just what Gil was saying, what was Toms own spelling?

Did he vary it across 67 emails?

This is incorrect, and I apologize for breakfast-related error.
