If the agreed spoken language of France then became English, then sure it would be Paris. So when you use the following words in conversation, how do you pronounce them? Paris, Spain, Wales, Japan I would expect you to say Paree, Espania, Cyrmu, Nippon (possible spelling mistakes not withstanding!) because that's the way they are said in the local tongue so, by your argument, must be how they are said ;-) \ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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/
