So I was totally bored this morning when I woke up & decided to flick through news stations, only to hear about some new countries which apparently are very important right now. According to the newsreaders on both CNN & Fox, we have a conflict with countries phoentically said as Eye-Rack and Eye-Ran but they name another one Is-Rail I proceeded to back away & turn over to a channel I could trust, however remembering that the bbc are , I sat in the corner & rocked back & forth.
How can you explain such a horrible-sounding debauchery on our dear language.

Point taken, but the "your dear language" isn't exactly a gold medalist in pronouncing nation titles either is it? Over 80% aren't tranlasted as they are pronounced in their native tounge.
So let's start saying Sverige instead of Sweden, Norge instead of Norway, Suomi instead of Finland, Rossia in stead of Ru-shia, Deutschland...etc.. |
