“Strawberry Fields”?

Do you think that’s pronounced with emphasis on the “hooter” or the “shooter”?

Relatives of mine lived in Leadville, Colorado until very recently. Yes, that’s lead as in the metal they used to mine there. But more recently, they focused on molybdenum mining - which is a much harder name to pronounce.

We have a Hell, California so I’ll go with Infierno, Quebec.

The town should be forced to name itself Polyurethane Foam in keeping with other regulations concerning asbestos remediation.

The most popular suggestion for the new territory back in 2002 was “Bob” but Gov’t spoilsports went with Nunavut.

They should use the example of the Grahams; when their clan name was proscribed, they simply re-named themselves Maharg. Asbestos - Sotsebsa! (Actually, Setebos sounds similar and would be pretty good…)
