I completely agree with the concept of judging people by their time period. Churchill and I were contemporaries, so yes I feel very comfortable with judging him for his racism. And his comment about names was made because people called him out on his name butchering IN HIS TIME.

And his comment about names was made because people called him out on his name butchering IN HIS TIME. Shouldn't those last 3 words read IN OUR TIME since you are a contemporary of his? Man, you must be Guiness Book of World Records old! What? At least 130, maybe 140? If Churchill butchered the occasional name, perhaps he would be an ESPN announcer were he alive today. Names weren't all, however. He spoke (Churchillian) French, and addressed the French people in their own (sort of) language over the wireless during WW II. The whole nation cringed listening to him. The comment about pronouncing foreign names? Churchill was famous for tongue in cheek witticisms; that would have been one such. |

Or internet message board posters. 🏀 😉 |

When asked directly which way to pronounce her name at the beginning of the season, she replied ( with a twinkle in her eye), “Just call me Dom.”

I think this is London Jones she is swatting into the next century: http://instagram.com/p/Cu94FKPN9fT |
