Now about the Reuter writer’s first name. Can someone tell her how to spell her own name? There are things in English known as VOWELS that help with pronunciation.

Take it up with the Welsh.

Saint Gwladys ferch Brychan or St Gladys (Latin-Gladusa), daughter of King Brychan of Brycheiniog, was the queen of the saint-king Gwynllyw Milwr and the mother of Cadoc "the Wise", whose vita may be the earliest saint's life to mention Arthur. Gwladys's other children were Cynidr, Bugi, Cyfyw, Maches, Glywys II and Egwine. Today her main church and associated school is in Bargoed. .

THe Saint Gwladys information is Greek to me.

Damned. Those names look like Ghetto names, only centuries earlier. How could the parents call their children? They couldn’t pronounce their names.

Should have tried the old Chinese child-naming method - Hey You #1, hey You #2, etc.

Old Alan King joke!
