Kudos to you and anyone else who scored 100%. I'm simply awful at world cities and capitals. From reading your past comments I suspect you've been to many of these. With the exception of Hawaii I've never been out of North America, but that's still no excuse for remaining ignorant. I need to "get with the program" and do some serious studying.

^ Don't worry, you're not the only one. I can name all the countries and am, well...kind of good at placing them geographically, but the capitals, oh man. There are so many I don't know. And of these listed here, I recognized the names of several, but missed them because I couldn't remember what country they were in, just that they were indeed familiar to me. Which is not much good, really. I sometimes avoid the cities quizzes because I suck at them so badly, but of course they actually do help.

I'm still thinking Lwow when it was Polish. Half of Poland was stolen by the USSR and they kicked the Poles out, called it Ukrainian, and in turn taking an enormous chunk of Germany, kicking the Germans out and calling that Polish. Wilson's 14 Points were given condescending acknowledgement at Versailles and rewritten like an Orwell treatise after the Second World War.

I am used to seeing it as Gent but the extra h didn't suddenly make me think "there is no way Ghent means Gent" or make me all confused.

In English you need to take all the "h"s with a grain of salt. ;) (besides at the beginning of the word, because then will sound either very posh and french like or quite the other side of the spectrum more working class associated.) (I wanted to give examples, but you might read them in the wrong accent haha)

@ander well the Belgians do say it with a soft g, but a different soft g, not one that sounds like (d)j. I believe your 'nonsoft g in Ghent would be something like khent (not completely obviously). I am trying to think if there is a sound in an English word that approximates how someone living in Gent would pronounce it. Can't think of any so far.

To complicate things further, in standard Dutch it is pronounced differently than how it is spoken in Belgium. the pronunciation of the g is one of the main differences between the languages.

So what is the proper spelling of the capital of Mongolia? I've seen it as two words, and as one word. I've seen it with consecutive 'a's and with just one. I've always spelled it is Ulaan Baator, but it's different in this quiz, and different in the capitals of the world quiz.

Wikipedia says that it was formerly anglicized as Ulan Bator, but has been Ulaanbataar since the 40s. Just look at the article on Ulaanbaatar.

You mean it's Anglicized as any way its written or pronounced in English. Trying to spell a foreign word which uses sounds not used in English is futile. Anyone who contests English pronunciations of foreign places has already mastered tons of English as it is. They aren't kind of eager to learn how to say something familiar to them in a new language, while they are conversing with its native speakers? If I learned Chinese and spoke to Chinese people I would want to recognize how to say USA, New York, etc. instead of just going about clueless, proudly carrying on conversations yet missing my own country when it was mentioned. It's a small part of tens of thousands of bits of words, pronunciations, rules, syntax, idioms, customs that someone has already learned at the point that they whine about someone not saying some unpronounceable word because they suddenly don't want to advance any further into this language.

I only count 6 capitals, out of 27 I definately would not call that emphasizing. And the ones chosen are definitely not the most known ones. (Assuming the quiz was not full with london paris etc previously, edit: I checked, it hasn't no updates since may 2015)

Sorry to bring it up again, but I have gotten the feeling that you do generally believe in standardizing names and spellings across Jetpunk. Ulaanbaatar is the correct current spelling of the Mongolian capital, and it appears that way on all other quizzes. Using the old English transliteration is exactly like using Peking for the capital of China, which appears nowhere on Jetpunk (nor should it).
