Am I stroking out or is that just how the English do things?
If you mean the name, that's just how the Welsh do things.
English isn't meant for the roman alphabet, but Welsh is even worse for it. Honestly a lot of languages needed a Sequoyah rather than just borrowing an alphabet from whomever conquered them
St. Asaph is a place in North Wales, a nice place to visit.
I would hope a place named by smashing face to keyboard would be a nice place to visit
Welsh has its own alphabet that’s different from the English one, the spelling is actually a bit more sane than English. English would sound bloody ridiculous too if you used the Welsh alphabet to speak it as well.
