[OT] English As She is Spoke

Quick Quiz: What are the correct spellings of:

Positions:

Tea-Shock (Irish Prime Minister - Gaelic rather than English...)

Personal Names:

Chumley Fanshaw Reece Sinjun (This one's been mentioned before)

Places:

Woostershur Gloster Dunleary Mairlbun Kanbruh Woolama Loo

Personally, I have problems with Boise, Idaho. I keep on wanting to pronounce
it "Bwa", a la Francaise.

> Gaelic rather than English

Now, that's not fair!

I've learned at least three spellings and pronunciations for the capital of
the largest nation in the world, and I'm assuming the linguists are not done
yet.

And what's this 'Spain' people keep talking about? I'm aware of Espa~a, but
no 'Spain'...

Boy, this thing is JUST getting boiling!

Starship Troopers! There, I said it!

The_Beast

*Fiction* The barrel of the plasma carbine gently pushed aside the palm leaves
shrouding the poolside of The_Beast's secret hideaway.  It had taken all
the sensor capabilities of the suit and heavy reliance on the the Mk1 eyeball
to locate this facility that was shielded and very well defended. In the end,
it had been the thermal steaming of the hot-tub against the almost as
warm surround air that gave away his position. With the target finally
sighted, all reason for stealth had vanished. A click of the tongue controls
locked onto secondary targets for the rest of the squad and also tertiary
targets for the bounce bombs. In seconds, all was ready. An indicator light on
the HUD turned from the steady blue of "mission search" to the amber of
"mission hold". All that was required was for command to hit the "smite"
button and all hell would break loose...

Do you want me to continue?  :-)

Sounds like round here, when homework is to be done.
