If all else fails, MSL still works, though hardly poetic...

Some call Opportunity Oppy, so I think it will be natural that some will start calling Curiosity Cury, it's the spelling that bedevils.

I think I'm gonna be a bitter old-timer & continue to refer to it as MSL.

We've been introduced to MSL, but haven't gotten to know it yet, nor it us ... first names seem a little premature, never mind nicknames. Call me old-fashioned. Anyway, it's awfully big to be cute. |

Hmm.
MSL... Emma... Emmy..? Ooh. I like that. "Emmy". Award-winning.  Now, I like "Emmy", but I like "Curie" too. But which is better? There's only one way to find out...

Hmmm, it appears to be as cold as a doctor's office in there.
