I kept getting tripped up on the spelling for Niagara. I kept writing Niagra. I was convinced that it was right. Had to look that one up.

Maybe we should all just regress to the days of Shakespeare and use whatever spelling we damn well please. What's the advantage to formalizing spelling if we adjust it to please illiterates.

The way people pronounce Niagara hurts my ears. I always place the stress on the second A which is not pronounced at all by most speakers.

So ni-ah-GAH-ra? Is that actually the correct pronunciation? I've just always said Niag'ra, like everyone else.

That is not the way it is pronounced, Sulps. The word is not Spanish in origin, but probably Native American. Wikipedia gives this as the correct pronunciation: (/naɪˈæɡrə/). For most of us that rhymes with Vi-ag'-ra.

You learn something new every day. I always thought calling it "Never Never Land" was a joke about the British habit of buying things on "hire purchase" also known as "The never never". Turns out JM Barrie really did call Peter Pan's home both Never Never Land and Never Never Never Land.

That list includes waterfalls that aren't actually waterfalls. This list is more accurate:

Never in all my years of studying Japanese did I encounter 'Nippon' for 日本. I always assumed, as a consequence, that it was just a Western mispronunciation, having only encountered it in English language contexts. Not one of my textbooks or teachers at multiple different institutions (from primary school to university) ever said anything but 'Nihon'. Only after some investigation (I never really noticed it in Japan somehow) did I discover that Nippon is actually a considerably older and more established pronunciation, though one which is falling out of use now. Sources differ, but it seems a majority (60-70%) favour the use of 'Nihon'. Apparently the youth overwhelmingly now favour 'Nihon', but older Japanese still use 'Nippon'. A few years ago a member of the Diet attempted to introduce a bill to establish an official pronunciation, but it failed to get through, so both persist. In the end I'm mainly left curious as to why Australian Japanese curricula don't even mention the issue.

I'd be careful about that. He's an auror, you know. He'd have you in a full body-bind curse faster than you could say, "Expelliarmus!". :) (From a grandmother whose inner child loves the Potterverse.) BTW, have you actually read the books? They are much better than the movies.

I only had one left (that I couldn't figure out), and that's because I thought "Nazaret" was spelled with an "s" instead of a "z"... Maybe you can add both, as a correct answer?

"is said to have originated" is an improvement of phrasing but I still think New York should be an acceptable type-in. It even starts with N.

Level 85

Although New York is home to Lombardi's, the oldest extant pizzeria in the U.S., we cannot claim to be the city where pizza originated. The traditional Margarita Pizza that New York has admittedly perfected was first seen at the Chicago World's Fair in 1895 when the chef from the Italian pavilion sought to create a new type of pizza that represented his country's flag. The tomato pie provided the color red so he added white cheese and green basil. He proceeded to name it after the queen of Naples. It's a shame that the city of Chicago went on to bastardize the art of pizza by turning it into a damn casserole.
