Brobdingrag
brobdingrag is the correct spelling of brobdingnag as originally intended by a fictional lemuel gulliver in the m-n-script so published.
in gulliver’s travels by jonathan swift, gulliver wrote a letter following the fictional initial publication that is used as a preface in the version actually published under swift. though the letter deals mostly with gulliver’s frustration at the behavior of humanity as that of yahoos, he also makes a brief aside:
indeed i must confess, that as to the people of lilliput, brobdingrag (for so the word should have been spelt, and not erroneously brobdingnag), and laputa, i have never yet heard of any yahoo so presumptuous as to dispute their being, or the facts i have related concerning them; because the truth immediately strikes every reader with conviction.
