It's called a "historical Greek name" Сталин Send a noteboard - 04/09/2009 03:39:44 AM
The Arabs spell all sorts of stuff wrong, including "Alexandria" and "Jerusalem". The Turks have a similar problem with properly spelling (and pronouncing) Constantinople.

Libya is a GREEK name for the territory, which tells you that "y" is actually an upsilon. Other Greek toponyms with an upsilon include Lycia, Lydia, Palmyra, Smyrna, Bithynia et al.
You can also write that as "Stalin" *MySmiley*

Oh, good. I had expected something stupid like lingering colonial resentments. Ghavrel - 03/09/2009 10:41:37 PM 581 Views
I don't think Switzerland ever had any colonies *NM* smaug - 03/09/2009 10:45:12 PM 294 Views
I didn't think so, either, but you have to admit it would make more sense. *NM* Ghavrel - 03/09/2009 11:07:40 PM 270 Views
True, but just about anything would make more sense... *NM* smaug - 03/09/2009 11:22:13 PM 302 Views
Bawwwww! ßelals Girl - 04/09/2009 01:24:02 AM 629 Views
I'd say the appropriate reaction is kicking Libya out of the UN... Legolas - 03/09/2009 10:51:34 PM 477 Views

It's seems I've made a drastic miscalculation here Brian - 04/09/2009 07:31:23 PM 558 Views
I read that as "Labia petitions UN to dismantle Switzerland" at first glance. / *NM* Jedi Wolf Sister - 04/09/2009 12:21:55 AM 192 Views
Um... how would that even work? *NM* smaug - 04/09/2009 12:26:44 AM 277 Views
Well with Ghaddafi acting like a p it makes it almost more a pun than a misread. *NM* Jedi Wolf Sister - 04/09/2009 12:30:26 AM 282 Views
Ok then. I forgive you *NM* smaug - 04/09/2009 12:32:03 AM 308 Views

Libya, not "Lybia" - the story got it right, why couldn't you? *NM* Tom - 04/09/2009 01:03:45 AM 214 Views
In fairness, that spelling doesn't make much sense. Legolas - 04/09/2009 01:06:49 AM 604 Views
