Let me put it this way, if Bretons from Saint-Malo called it that, and were the first human settlers, then that's it's name.

Do you refer to New York City as New Amsterdam or by the name used by the Indians who sold it to the Dutch?

I smell hypocracy. And it stinks.

Yep.

I refer to it as Manhattan, as do you, which is a slight variation of St. Menhoulde which was applied to the place by the first permanent settlers ~ all of whom came from Wallonia.

Do you think I don't know these things?
