Iwo Jima is no more

Postby H » Wed Jun 20, 2007 8:12 pm

Sulpher Island is once again its native name, Iwo To. Ah, such stumbling blocks. Films need to be renamed, like the The Sands of Sulpher; new issues like A To Hold to Victory.
Hmmn, Lone Ranger, did TonTo have a dad or brother named Iwo?
::) :)

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Point taken, of course.  For the US psyche, however, the island of "Iwo To"  will remain "Iwo Jima".

MAybe one of these days there will be a movement to correct the injustice of naming two continents after a cartographer that, not given adequate instructions, apparently named the continents after himself.
