Cassette vs. Casquette

It should say Casquette girl. See the term used here: http://www.guidetomusicaltheatre.com/shows_n/naughty_marietta.htm and the synopsis here: http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/341/Naughty-Marietta/ (you have to click on synopsis). And here: http://new.music.yahoo.com/victor-herbert/tracks/naughty-marietta-act-one-finale-tis-she-the-casquette-girl--184002325 I think we need to fix this everywhere. -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:01, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It still did say casquette girl, all I did was disambiguate the link to the actual article, but if you'd rather it link to a redirect page that's fine by me. Although it certainly does appear that casquette is completely appropriate here, the term has historically been casket, cassette, or, less often, casquette. Casket is the blunt English term, whereas cassette roughly means "small box" and casquette can mean a cap (as the diminutive form of casque = helmet). Since the name was derived from the small trunks that these women carried to the New World with them, cassette girl is the most common historical name. Altairisfar 17:43, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think "cassette girl" is correct in English. It should be "casquette girl". I think "cassette girl" is just a typo caused by people seeing the term in French. I think the other article needs to be corrected. I'll fix it now. -- Ssilvers (talk) 06:43, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
