I guess they didn’t want people to end up calling it P Road

          You’ve used three comments in this thread to post reactionary shite about how it’s too hard to learn a new word. I’m here saying that people learn long words all the time, without the same fuss. I don’t think I’m the troll here.

            You assholes constantly show up where you’re not wanted, post the most inflammatory takes possible, accuse everyone who disagrees with you of racism, and generally engage in bad faith.

            Take the hint and fuck off.

              I have done nothing of the sort. I have not accused you of racism nor engaged in bad faith arguments.

              In this exchange, I suggested that if you’re capable of learning a longer made up English word, then learning a comparatively shorter te reo Māori word shouldn’t be too challenging.

              I’m happy to leave it there.

                That is a bad faith argument when you need to learn it in order to call for help. Kinda leaving out some details.

                Besides, you fuckers just absolutely flood every thread you show up in.

                  Please look up the definition of what arguing in bad faith is about.

                  Lawyers will argue this shit for days, please don’t start fights for no reason.

                    Would you want to spell that out every time you give your address?

                  Mate, it’s not a hard word to learn. I’ve just read it for the first time in my life and I’ve got it down. It’s eight simple syllables, not your life story.

                  Why are you incapable of learning it though? Is there something special about you?

                  when you need to learn it in order to call for help.

                  Is that the purpose of street names? Don’t think so

                    How can you tell emergency services where you are otherwise?

                    Do you understand what a street name is?

                Papakangahorohoro doesn’t even look or sound hard. If you want hard, try wrapping your head around figuring out how to pronounce Welsh - Who are the real British people, and not those savage Germans calling themselves “English” -

                For example, imagine your touring the village of Llanhyfryddawelllehynafolybarcudprindanfygythiadtrienusyrhafnauole and decided you wanted to catch a train to Liverpool but on your way there you accidentally take the wrong train and end up in Fairbourne at Gorsafawddachaidraigodanheddogleddollonpenrhynareurdraethceredigion rail station. Makes for a great photo opportunity at least.

      Even somebody like you could manage I bet.
