I don't care whether it's ISIS or ISIL, but it would be a better world if they were all DOA.

We don't pronounce France as "fronce." Pack-i-stan is a completely acceptable pronunciation of the country.



This was the example I was going to say. That still doesn't make Obama wrong for pronouncing Pakistan correctly, just like he wouldn't be for pronouncing Iran correctly.

Can we also rehash the dumb "debate" about the "s" in isis not standing for "Syria"? (It doesn't, fwiw.)
