Hanover instead of Hannover is "butchering" to you?
- haasted 4y agoAn absolute carnage!!
- InCityDreams 4y agoYes, username smmt8, it is.
- jalk 4y agoWould you campaign for it to be written as Hannofer in English so that non-German speakers will not butcher the current pronunciation. Obviously there are long historical reasons for language diffs of city names and I imagine many predates the nation states who now house those cities. Changes in local pronunciation is also a thing, and those changes are of course not always propagated to other languages
