Allemano, have you lost your sense of humour?
My comment was meant purely as a joke, sorry if you didn't get that. This is the trouble when you try to be witty in a language that is not your mother tongue. Sometimes it doesn't come trough. True, some of my great-grandparents were from Elsass, so this is maybe why I thought some people would feel uneasy in their grave. I personally don't give a hoot about it.
But you're right, Allemano, whe French have that nasty habit to rename foreign cities with sounds more suitable to our ears. I criticize it quite often but I must also do it all the time, when speaking at least, maybe less in writing.
