Fun talk:Versailles

Versailles? You have a problem with Versailles? As the token francophone here, let's talk about "tough," "cough," "plough" and "dough." Versailles, indeed. PFoster 11:05, 2 January 2008 (EST)
 * You forgot "through" and probably "thought". [[Image:jollyfish.gif|25px]]Genghis  Marauding 12:06, 2 January 2008 (EST)
 * Not really. You're right about other languages having their respective pronunciation problems.  I mostly wrote it because I am from the Pittsburgh area.  The curious thing about Versailles is that someone seems to have kept spelling the word for four extra letters before someone told them to stop. :)  --Edgerunner  76 11:13, 2 January 2008 (EST)
 * The guy in Verdun (ver-dun) knew when to stop. :) --Edgerunner  76 11:16, 2 January 2008 (EST)

Not to mention: Leicester, Gloucester, Worcester, Bicester, Towcester (but, curiously, not Cirencester). Also Edinburgh, and my personal favourite, the Right Hon. mr. Featherstonehaugh*. -- AKjeldsen Godspeed! 11:25, 2 January 2008 (EST) * Fanshaw
 * AK, one normally drops the "Mr." when using "Right Hon." as the latter is more prestigious. (BTW, one of my pet hates is people who insist on calling themselves Mister So-and-so.) [[Image:jollyfish.gif|25px]]Genghis  Marauding 12:11, 2 January 2008 (EST)
 * Oh yes, forgot about that. Not that I know if there's ever been an actual Right Hon. Featherstonehaugh, mind you. -- AKjeldsen Godspeed! 13:36, 2 January 2008 (EST)
