That is a spectacularly out of touch comment to be honest, not everyone spends hours reading the news and arguing about it with strangers on the Internet, you know.
oh my god - just give up. Its not that hard a name to spell when we have places like Foveaux Strait, Balmacewen, Corstorphine just to name a few non Te Reo name that are 'hard to spell' or are a 'mouthful'
Those are also a mouthful, and are probably a hassle for the people that live there. I don't see how that makes creating a headache for these people acceptable?
How is using our only codified written language a headache - really?
