Thanks again..

Worth keeping in mind that Steenkirque in Hewynowes/Hainaut seems to of more or less withstood Frenchification of any worth, likely because (like Waterloo) its also named after a well-known battle and therefore it's name got known to the wider-world before Frenchification made landfall with it...

Indeed, an whole 'potsherdsworth' of a pot and not just a potsherd or two.

Great input thank you. Bytheway, I thought NIPON folk call themselves (like their tungue) Nihongo not Yamato!?

Hullo Joey, What I think I was trying to show, is that, yes, the Frenchification has been going on for a long time, but despite the aforsaid, "Walloon Brabant" even now, is not FULLY Frenchified - even on it's English wiki noone will dare byword that the history of the title:"Walloon...

Government gang-stalking could be said to be the modern version - "targeted individuals" get cooked alive in their homes by radiation/microwave weaponry, amongst other grimness.

At least being shunned is way better than being gang-stalked.

Folk likingmost English most likely should also like its near sibling Scots, right?

First post, greetings to all. This viral hemorrhagic fever seems to be found all over the Afro-Eurasian super-continent and its sundry nations. Wonder then why whomever(?) picked on the Crimea and Congo(s) to give the world the headlinelike title: "Crimea-Congo hemorrhagic fever". Wonder if...
