The only thing I can think of that would be comparable to this absurdity is if the BBC (or the Economist, or whoever) were to refer to the Irish President, not as Mary McAleese, but as Máire Pádraigín Bean Mhic Ghiolla Íosa, out of deference to the five people left alive in Ireland who still speak Gaelic as their primary language.


Nice work

It'd be nice if they could wrap their heads around the word "Taoiseach", mind you.
