I ask because the University of the West Indies just won for the second year in a row (beating Yale) this year, and I was wondering if it's something that Yale loses any sleep over, or anyone cares about, because it's the least important Moot Court ever.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Bully for them!
I suspect most of Yale doesn't lose any sleep over it, because they're Yale. They have enough prizes. But good for UWI, and yes, it does speak well of their training.

My last name was originally gaelic. The real pronunciation has been pretty much universally abandoned. It should be pronounced dee-EL. The 'z' in the middle of the name is there because the 'z' looks sorta like the gaelic letter that should really be there, but they are completely different and have a totally different sound to them. Ah fun with names.

I think the Parish of the same name is still pronounced correctly. Not that I've contact with any of the family there to confirm it. (Grandpa's Aunts were there, but that branch of the family doesn't talk, not even when they're in the same bloody town.)

I have heard the Czech pronunciation of my name, but I can't replicate it.

Even just a single tea bag! I was lifting a tea bag down off a high shelf a few weeks ago, and it tore, and then sprayed all over the kitchen and into my eyes. I was still finding bits of tea in my eye the next morning!

Yeah, there are still some places that pronounce it correctly, but even the majority of my relatives in Ireland don't use the old prononciation.
