Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Though this (Idem Sonans) is strictly a question of pronunciation when raised by demurrer, it may be treated as a question of law . . . When there is no generally received English pronunciation of the names as one and the same, and the difference in sound is not so slight as to be scarcely perceptible, the doctrine of idem sonans cannot be applied without the aid of extrinsic evidence, unless when sound and power are given to the letters as required by the principles of pronunciation, the names may have the same enunciation or sound.” Munkers v. State, 87 Ala. 94 , 6 So. 357 , 358; Buxton v. State, 40 Ala.App. 667, 122 So.2d 151 , cert. den. 271 Ala. 697 , 122 So.2d 152 .”
