I get the joke but no. Place names are funny because some of them sound the same in foreign languages, while others are close but not quite the same.

- ilikehurdles 4y agoIt’s not a joke. I’m trying to make sense of your logic and whether there is any consistency in it. I won’t fault you for preferring one name over its translation but clearly we do this for aesthetic reasons only, not some drive to be correct or authentic because we certainly don’t apply that consistently.
