BUDDOCK QUINCE and so on.  BUDDOCK SYLMNES.

Pretty close to mine there.

There's an extremely right-wing American journalist called Maureen Mullarkey.

Did we already have that CNN guy who didn't know Edinburgh wasn't Glasgow, Wolf Blitzer? I assume there's also

I've noticed a lot of apostrophes in American names lately.

For example instead of HUNDREDS (after the hundreds column in maths), you get boys and girls called 'NDREDS.

and they pronounce it like that as well, with the N.  It's not pronounced UNDREDS or with another vowel sound sneaking in to fill the gap.  It's precisely 'NDREDS.

There's a chance this is too specific but whatever, it's not my fault they don't use proper names

Skirt Waverley


like the Ariston advert where they all wore clothes and one type of their clothes was a skirt, well in America skirt is used as a name as well for people that aren't skirts
