Technically Maui is both a city (the whole island) and county (Maui, Lanai, Molokai, Kahoolawe) and no, I didn't put the okina(s) in. Fuck that noise.

- kamechan 14y agoyou know it was more work to type "and no, I didn't put the okina(s) in. Fuck that noise." than to put the okina(s) in, right?
- planetguy 14y agoPerhaps, but he wouldn't have had a chance to protest about the stupid ongoing attempt to incorporate a pointless, one-use extra character into the English language. The Hawaiian language has never had a written form apart from the English alphabet, so why they think they can go round sticking new characters into it is beyond me. I already know how to pronounce "Hawaii", you don't need a freaking apostrophe in there to remind me.
- kevinpet 14y agoThere are no incorporated cities in Hawaii, just the counties. Honolulu (i.e. Oahu) is called "the city and county of Honolulu" and the rest are just "county of ___". (Also learned from Wikipedia that there is fifth county that consists of a single isolated peninsula on Maui).
