Perhaps of interest to etymologists only: although the spelling “revolke” is now part of standard American English, back in the time when CMKX was still trading, the accepted spelling was “revoke,” and “revolk” was a misspelling common amongst the less educated of the HFUC devotees. Of course, the use of the “revolk” spelling in the official canonization of Saint Urban had a lot to do with the decision by the OED to change the proper spelling.
