    Nevermind that, what I wanna know is, how come Americans seem to be unable to pronounce Las Vegas correctly? They say "Los Vegas". Whereas the English are able to say "Las Vegas."

    I think that's a bit odd, as Las Vegas is in America, you'd think they'd be able to pronounce the name of a city better than people from many miles away in the UK.

    Nobody calls its Los Vegas here. Or Las Vegas.

    It's just Vegas.

    Mind you my yankee kids had quite a laugh when we were told the code of the exit gate at our hotel in Galway last year. It was Tree-Tree-Tirty-Tree.

    An interesting extrapolation based on how we pronounce Halloween.

    Crips instead of Crisps is the one that wrecks my head, heard it often in Finglas and Ballyfermont.

    Post over in one of the Dublin forums and ask them.

    I doubt you'll get on too well though.
