@ Krabo
yeah, I was also really surprised when I learned that England's King Jakob was really King James. I assumed it was Jacob. :roll: Well, I guess it's no worse than how they changed biblical names. I think they should leave names of specific people as they are though. We don't need the names 'translated'.

well, I prefer the original name for specific people, regardless of which name I personally prefer. For instance I like the name William far better than Wilhelm, but not for the historical person. His name wasn't William, nor has he asked to be called William.
I know it's common, and I don't like it. I like all the little differences and I wish to know them :)

Wilhelm Klink from Hogan's Heroes is a Wilhelm, rather than a William. That's when it is right. That's the version I choose in those scenarios.

I agree. I haven't watched that series though, so I looked him up.

Speaking of laughs, I looked at some old Laurel and Hardy films.

Speaking of laughs, I think my favorite sitcoms are "Friends" and "How I met your mother".

I'm afraid I don't know those. I have seen The Big Bang Theory.
