If only people would read to the end before reacting. I have no plans to ever visit Vancouver or indeed Canada; I'm interested in how the word is pronounced for the purpose of reading the article. It's not worth it to me to spend half an hour figuring out the pronunciation of a single word. I'm already multilingual and familiar with a range of diacritical marks; it might take other people much longer to put it together. That's why it would make sense for the writers of an English-language article to provide some sort of pronunciation pointer.

> it might take other people much longer to put it together. Well then they can be upset about it. > I have no plans to ever visit Vancouver or indeed Canada That's a shame, it's a beautiful place, but clearly the article is irrelevant to you. > It's not worth it to me to spend half an hour figuring out the pronunciation of a single word. Well then you don't have to, and the world continues spinning madly on. Took me about 2 mins though, didn't seem like something to be so stressed about. If you already aren't authentically curious or interested in visiting, then that's your business.
