Why? Do you live in Los Angeleeeeeeeeees?[:'(]

Used to, but whats that to do with anything? It is simply very annoying, especially considering that these are the same people that complain about us adding "shire" to things. We add "shire" because we think all Brits are hobbits. [8|] Besides, how would you like it if we suddenly started saying "Londoooon"?

[DuckofTindalos]

Wouldn't really caaaaaaaaaaaare, not being of the British persuasion...[:D][:'(]

I'm sorry to have to resurrect this thread but I have something that needs to be said. I was just watching some show with a Brit commentator and, well.....

The next citizen of the UK to pronounce the name of one of this nations biggest cities as "Losangeeleeeees" will be shot on sight. [:@][8|]

Perhaps he worked for the Dept of Silly Name Pronunciation. You know, the one just down the hall from the Dept of Redundancy Dept. [:D]

[DuckofTindalos]

In return, can I shoot the next American to say "Copenhahgen" instead of "Copenhaygen"?

Well, only if you want to be a follow the crowd sort. Shooting Americans seems to be so fashionable its really a bit cliche. [:'(]

[DuckofTindalos]

Hmmm, can I arrange for a freakish accident involving a falling grand piano then?

[niceguy2005]

Much better. At least something a bit more original. [;)]

Agreed, but only with the caveat that you darn Euros start adapting your infernal placenames to be more pronounsable by normal folks. I refer to manes like Maastricht, Wien and Munchen. And how are we expected to pronounce Brest in public anyhow?

Isnt that more RUPDs style? Trying to frame the poor coyote?

[DuckofTindalos]

Perhaps, to be creative and faithful to the classics, I could set up something involving a roller skate, a big pane of glass and a bowling alley...

Like you spell it... Ooops, sorry, I forget you can't spell...[:D]

[Ursa MAior]

You are all wrong. It is not Los Enjelees. It is Los Anheles. Or to be more precise it will be soon. Again.

Ask Samuel Huntington. [;)]

By contract, that would also require dominoes, at least 12 rope pulleys, a burning candle and, in some states, a bow and arrow. [:-]

No I cant. Which does nothing to answer my question. [8|]

[DuckofTindalos]

Hmmm, wonder if I can lay my hands on a muzzle-loading cannon, a toy railroad set, a watermelon, a chicken suit and a cricket bat...?

All "accidents" utilizing muzzle loading cannon must also include a hamster and a hamster wheel.

[DuckofTindalos]

Damn red tape...[8|]

If the US was returned to the commonwealth, two things would happen.
 
1. Australian back packers would stop exclusively going to the UK and start travelling to the US as well.
2. Both Australia's & America's average IQs would improve as a result [:D]
 
I also have to mention here that on a reality television show (so must be legit) over 250 Kiwis in Auckland were persuaded to sign a petition asking their own government to cede NZ to Aus and become Tasmania 2.  All it took was about 3 hours and two scantily clad Aussie blondes (women - not beers, although you have to wonder . . .)
