The National Review will save the purity of English (Englisch Englisch über alles)

[damiel]

Nominees to the US Supreme Court with foreign-sounding names are making English sound unnatural. Luckily, Mark Krikorian and The National Review are here to point out this insidiousness in what has to be the worst hodgepodge of faux sociolinguistics ever.

Deferring to people's own pronunciation of their names should obviously be our first

Krikorian is way too Armenian, he would change it to Krickoran or better yet Corcoran if he had any sense of decency on the behalf of the English language.

Wha-? Are we all supposed to say "Soda-Mayor" or something?

Soda Meir, the first Jewish Puerto Rican woman nominee to the Supreme Court.

(National Review, you mean; New Republic usually doesn't get quite that assholical unless it's Marty Peretz writing.)
