7. Thank you.

I cringe every time I hear eye-rack. I think people say it that way as a put-down.

8. Do republicans have a problem pronouncing that word the correct way?

Is it a republican thing? I don't get it...just like they are adept at dodging questions are they so adept at mispronouncing simple frigging words!

Maybe it's a republican prerequisite....who knows

15. Republicans have a problem pronouncing Democratic

I remember them calling us the "The Democrat Party" alot of times.

13. Sorry to nit pick

but it's "e-rock" and "e-ran". I have been to both counties many times and have noticed that not only in Iran and Iraq but just about everywhere outside the USA and the UK the letter "i" is pronounced "e" and "e" is pronounced "er". I cringe whenever I hear anyone say "EYE-RACK" or "EYE-RAN". It's just wrong.

14. thanks for the correction

16. So basically the old English map makers were either

mispronouncing the names or misspelling the names? Not that either surprises me....
