Re: New pronunciation of Bangalore

This just in:

The governments of Italy, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, and Serbia
announced that henceforth, the spelling of their respective cities must be
changed from:

Rome to Roma
Munich to München
Prague to Praha
Warsaw to Warszava, and
Belgrade to Beograd

These changes have been made in the interest of clarity, and achieving
parity with the third worlders
