Jesus wept.

It's for one week people.

It's not like the places have actually moved, you still know where your town is.

People really love to get their panties in a twist.

Gasp, I have to learn a few new words! Woe is me!

There's a grand total of two people who've said anything remotely negative about this, don't you think you're being a tad dramatic?

What makes you think I'm specifically talking only about comments in this thread?

[–] Ilovethebomb -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who are you talking about then?

[–] Rangelus 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The large number of people who bitch and moan, in person and on social media, about the increasing use of Te Reo in every day life. And yes, you are but one example of this.

[–] Ilovethebomb -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm mostly bitching about you bitching.

Funnily enough, if you open the map all the names are in English, it's only the list on the front page that has changed.

Typical token gesture really.

Lol if it doesn't go far enough it's a token gesture, if it goes too far it's 'too confusing'. Can't win eh
