Is it Danmark or Denmark? (1 Viewer)

[Kevin Coleman]

Ok guys I know this is about as trivial as it gets but this has been annoying me for a while. If you notice at the bottom of yahoo's front page they have Denmark spelled Denmark. See here: http://www.yahoo.com/

AFAIK, 'Danmark' is simply the Danish word for Denmark. Dunno why Yahoo has it spelled differently in different locations.

Yes, "Danmark" is the Danish name for the country. If you notice on the mail-page, they spell all the European countries in the language of that country (Danmark - Deutschland - España - France - Italia - Norge - Sverige).

Kirk, that's nobody's business but the Turks'.

He obviously misinterpreted what it means to "be bullish."

Constantinople or Istanbul?

Istanbul. The Turkish postal authorities have a long-standing practice of returning any letter or parcel addressed "Constantinople".

And, of course, it should be "Moskva" not "Moscow." I think on early maps it gor transliterated from Russian to German to English.

David - LOL - I thought I was the only one who heard that song in my youth... Good to see there still some dementia out there, even from the "good old days"...

Is it Copenhagen or Kobenhaven ?

København in Danish
Unless you meant the english spelling, in which case I would guess Copenhagen. I have no idea where Kobenhaven comes from, I have never heard it before. So I guess this post wasn't helpful after all
