We would like to acknowledge that this hole is established on the traditional and vibrantly coloured land of Don Cherry. We recognize the many years of service and garishly coloured joy he has brought us here on Turtle Island. May we continue to celebrate the spirit of Don Cherry's land with respect and appreciation.

Pronouncing names in some attempt at a foreign pronunciation is one of the more annoying wokist ideas. tho it's funny sometimes since people only really know spanish and so pronounce like indian names in a spanish accent and stuff

Everyone who does this is a hypocrite. They'll bend over backwards to respect the indigenous knowledge-keepers' ways of pronouncing Chingquiliqualik but they never pronounce "Seoul" as "Suh-uhl" or "Lebanon" as "Lubnan".

it varies
saying "Paris" as the french do makes you sound like a cute twink
not saying "Nice" as the french do makes you sound like an r-slur

I usually use the Paris example as why we shouldn't do that.

this is what happens when you let linguists create writing systems
reasonable people tie it to a set of characters its speakers already know or try to invent something simple and convenient (hangul), while linguists want perfect accuracy so that when all the injuns die the linguists 3000 years from now will know how to say šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl'e7énḵ

!leafs Who the frick cares what injuns call anything? At all? Outside of a handful of cities/towns (all with phonetic spellings) I can't think of a single injun name for anything (and tbh most of those could just be french)

Why are they letting Indians name things? If the Indians wanted to put names on things, maybe they should have figured out writing instead of staying in the Stone Age like a bunch of dumbasses.

You ever colonize a people so hard you let them put their weird words on your own stuff just as joke for you and your mates to pronounce incorrectly each time?
