I got 45/45 of the Euro map. >_>

* Descan Canadians.

To be fair, Eastern Europe is a monster, and no-one who hasn't put serious effort into learning them all is going to be able to remember them all.

I haven't put any effort into learning them and I got them all...

Well, I guess you're just awesome, then, aren't you?

If you think your rules for writing are strange, the Gaelic word "dhomh" is pronounced "Gaw". Well... not really, but it's hard to represent a G-fricative sound in text. Please refer to this link to understand what kind of thing I'm talking about.

Dòmhnall is also pronounced "Doll".

Milngavie and Kirkcudbright can be confusing to foreigners. Though I once had an American ask me about 'Eden-burg'. I was confused.


Edit: Also until about a year ago I thought "Ar-kansas" and "Arkinsaw" were different places. But apparently it's just 'Arkansas', which isn't pronounced like 'Kansas' at all. I blame the French for that one.

Spoiler: Boring explanation of why Milngavie is pronounced Mull Guy (click to show/hide)

Milngavie's pronunciation (pronounced mull-guy, for you foreigners) is actually an example of Gaelic. It comes from maolainn dhaibhidh or "David's mill". Since Gaelic speakers from the South back in medieval times/a bit after used to shorten everything they shortened Daibhidh to Dai (pronounced die) and maolainn to maol and it turned into "maolainn dhai" (mool-gheye) or literally "Dave's Mill". Exactly who Dave was or why he had a mill we may never know.

I cannot explain the aberration that is Kirkcudbright though. My god. I also admit that as a filthy teuchter I pronounce Edinburgh "Edin-buruh".

So how is it meant to be pronounced? I always pronounced it the same as I would 'borough', since they have the same root as far as I know.

I forgot to bring the USB cord for my ipod, and thus can't charge it.
Not looking forwards to making the several hour train trip tomorrow with only the few songs on my phone to listen to.
