Subject: RE: Help: holidaying in vancouver From: mousethief Date: 16 Mar 01 - 03:40 PM I always wondered about the two Des Moineses -- do they pronounce the names of their cities the same way? The one south of Seattle is pronounced, "duh-moynes." How do the Iowayans pronounce theirs? |
Subject: RE: Help: holidaying in vancouver From: Don Firth Date: 16 Mar 01 - 03:38 PM It's a confusing world. There's a Des Moines just south of Seattle. (So far, nobody's had to ask "which Seattle," but wait 'til we terraform Mars). Don Firth |
Subject: RE: Help: holidaying in vancouver From: mousethief Date: 16 Mar 01 - 11:28 AM Sorry I overreacted. But really, if somebody asks an innocent question, a polite answer really is the best policy. Indeed even if the question isn't innocent the polite answer will defuse the non-innocence. I hope you enjoy your trip to VBC. For my money it's the most beautiful city (taking in surroundings and such) in the world. alex |
Subject: RE: Help: holidaying in vancouver From: GUEST,Les Sullivan Date: 16 Mar 01 - 09:41 AM Thanks everybody sorry to cause such consternation. I did mean BC, must admit I never realised there were so many Vancouvers, but thats the problem with us Brits I'm a singer songwriter and wont have my guitar with me so singing cessions would probably be favourite. |
Subject: RE: Help: holidaying in vancouver From: mousethief Date: 14 Mar 01 - 02:03 PM I live halfway between two Vancouvers. It's far less obvious to me. Why can't people just answer questions without being insulting (or trying to be insulting, anyway)? Geezis, Petr, take some politeness lessons or something. |

I'll be in Vancouver too, likely in August, see the Pacific Northwest thread (anyone who wants to do a blicky, welcome)... I'll miss that music festival but I hear there are others...? |
