What’s it with Indians that make them so good at spelling?

Well, first they have to learn how to spell their own name. After that, the rest is easy!

Heck, I can’t even PRONOUNCE some of their names :)

I had a colleague from Sri Lanka whose full name was : Yogaramanan Navaratnarajah ( I was the only one bold enough to learn to pronounce it correctly ). They called him Yogan for short though.

But then, I would believe that the Icelanders could learn to dominate this competition. I can’t even pronounce the name of the volcano that erupted in 2010... What was it? I think it was : Eyjafjallajökull
