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)
- 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. :) --Edgerunner76 11:13, 2 January 2008 (EST)
- The guy in Verdun (ver-dun) knew when to stop. :) --Edgerunner76 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*. --AKjeldsenGodspeed! 11:25, 2 January 2008 (EST) *Fanshaw
