I would not be surprised, if Mike Krzyzewski’s name is pronounced the way it is then we might as well just start making shit up cause there’s clearly no rules

It’s pronounced “Kay” 
And the town that bears his name might be the longest place name in North Carolina:

He may have nailed the pronunciation but by the time he was finished saying it the weather had already changed.

It’ll take me longer to find the clip than for him to say it.

Are you welsh? If not then you can’t use that word, if you are then have at it.
While i’m here, i wouldn’t mind seeing ‘welshing’ censored on the bbs much like ■■■■■ is (was?) since it is derogatory. 'k? Thnx, bye!

I’d say it was on purpose.
Ah, that definiton of ‘recently’
The terms Welsh and welsh are not related other than in spelling (capital W aside). When someone welshes on a deal it has nothing to do with people from Wales.
Next you’ll be telling us we can’t polish a turd.

The OED has some trouble deciding whether it’s ‘welching’ or ‘welshing’ but the generally accepted origin comes from english debt collectors making disparaging remarks about those backward oiks in the principality. What i mean is, the term as used now might not be disparaging to welsh people but that is its origin and makes me wince every time i hear it. Just use ‘reneging’ instead (not that i’ve seen people use the former on here).

Maybe. If only to emphasize how terrible CSS is.

I don’t want to dox myself, but I am Welsh enough that I got ethnic comments at British customs when I arrived to spend a year at college with people who look like me and have names like mine.
“Taff” is not a nice word in Britain. In America almost nobody’s ever heard it. Almost nobody in America is at all aware that the Welsh have suffered, and continue to suffer, mistreatment in Britain.
The repeated topic “let’s talk about how funny it is when people like you speak their native language” doesn’t sit well with me at all. But carry on.

The world disappoints me again.
