The best example is "Francois" is Newfoundland which when pronounced sounds like "France-ways".

Was about to mention that one - also Baie Verte (pronounced Bay Vurt). :)

Streetcars v buses - still? Oof. That was being debated well before I left Toronto. And subways/LRT, of course. Plus ça change... *sigh*

A question of transcription: the value of 'j' in Dutch is almost always 'y', and the Greek hero's actual name was Aias. I'm not sure how the 'j' came to be in the English version, since (ancient) Greek doesn't have a J.

Probably from the Latin version - a lot of Latin words have a j in place of an i, eg hujusmodi / huiusmodi. It's especially true in medieval Latin.
 
Please forgive me complete Luddite. Is there any way to quickly find the original post after a repost? I.e. some one quoted Albert h. Wagstaff today and I liked it so I want to see the original context of the post. Also can I see somebody's total post history if I find them clever?

Their crime, fire and accident reports were awesome.

They should be ashamed of themselves. But, I loved it!

Maybe FN is going hard-hat for their next rally. Those signs their squad carries wield look like they could decapitate.

Watching ROFO on CP24 now - media is really starting to push back and trying to call him out on what he says. He claims they had a plan to build subways on Queen AND KING. Idiot. Queen was a streetcar burial and King Street NEVER was discussed.
