I cannot spell your city.

Apparently I only like to complain about things and since my life has been just peachy (harharhar, i tell you Jokes!) I haven't written in a while (with exception to yesterday, but I refer to the glaring month off from writing). But today at my spectacular job I learned me up on some neat topics and items such as:

  • White Herons
  • Thai culture
  • Pete Seeger
  • Thiruvananthapuram.


Sorry but that is just ridonculous. Seriously, that has got to be the worst city name of all time. I was trying to google it but by the time I finished typing "...thapuram" I had an epileptic seizure from the incosistent alternation of letters and consonants. Apparently this capital cities' former name, Trivandrum, was just too plain. Kerala must think they are some sort of big fancy country that deserves an equally extravagant name. Granted, I am American and I speak me some English, therefore I expect everyone else to cater to my language. However, I find this to still be a disturbingly long city name with an equally unlikely spelling. I imagine it is pronounced like the rhythmic chant in the song "Little Drummer Boy". Rumpapapum versus Thiruvananthapurm. See, its like the same freaking thing.

Dear Former state of Trivandrum,

Are you effing kidding me?

Love,
Your Friend,
Vicky

Hell just look northward into Michigan. You have towns like Tittabawasee, Muskegon, Shiawasee, Ispheming, Oconomawoc, Frankentrost, Frankenhilf, Frankenmuth... It goes on and on...
