Hi All,
As Alan C mentioned: >VanOSUG also seems easier to pronounce (that or "VancOSUG"). I, personally, am relatively ambivalent to what the link says. VANOSUG works better than VAOSUG. As below, I don't think there will be much in the way of confusion with Vancouver, WA. I must say, though, I am enjoying the level of pedantry! Looks like I will fit in well here... :-D James On Tue, Feb 24, 2009 at 11:31 AM, Nicolas Dorfsman <ndo at unikservice.eu>wrote: > > Le 24 f?vr. 09 ? 05:36, John Sonnenschein a ?crit : > > I think it's pretty clear that "Vancouver" implies the one in Canada, >> rather than Vancouver, Washington but I can see how "Lower Mainland" can be >> unclear.
