Moving right along, I'd like to say that its been interesting to learn the tidbits found in this thread about geographic names such as the pronunciation of geographic names, the use of European city names in the USA, Australia, & elsewhere, and the fact that London, England, and Paris, France is considered redundant.

Special thanks to Uncle_DaveO, autolycus, Rowan, Darowyn, DMcG, Celtaddict for their posts on this subject.

And if I forgot anyone who posted to this thread on this subject, I'm sorry. My thanks go to you, too.
