As promised..  There is only one other instance of "el" or "ell" in
the manuals or sources I could find (cd gdb; egrep  " el(l)?(,|\.| )" * -rn=
),
and it was the one I copied from.  I was going to fix it, but, I noticed
that <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L> says:

 "L is the twelfth letter of the basic modern Latin alphabet. Its name in
 English (play /=CB=88=C9=9Bl/) is spelled el or occasionally ell.[1]"

So, which one should we use?  Is this an American English vs other
flavours issue?
