Ah but your argument falls over because the person in your argument is not a born and breed local of Paris, and if they were, they would say "Paree" which is of course the correct pronunciation.

Are they maori names? Because if they are, then surely the locals when they were named were maori? So surely the maori pronunciation is correct? And the current locals simply can't even pronounce the name of their own town right :-) That's like going to live in Paris then saying that seeing as you are now a local, and you say it Paris then that is correct pronunciation, never mind that the French say it Paree. (Or differently from me anyway). So unless they are not maori names, then the maori pronunciation is correct, and good on the TV presenters for trying. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Offtopic List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe offtopic" Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/offtopic%40delphi.org.nz/
