Criticism Of Suvarnabhumi (aka. Tna)

[DrDweeb]

Just an aside, relating to a previously closed post.

crit·i·cism Pronunciation (krt-szm) n.

1. The act of criticizing, especially adversely.

I fail to see how discussing the etymology of the airport name and the relative ages (language tree) of languages which have the roots which make up the said name, can in any way be construed as criticism.

Personally, I would have preferred a transliteral spelling more likely to result in a correct pronounciation by an anglophile, but I am slightly biased on this point. Otherwise, I think it is a fine name, and for those of us with an interest in such etymological musings posts on the name are both relevant and of interest.

I think the moderator should acquire a dictionary and chill out a little.

Long Live The King (he is a cool dude)

The topic was closed for the same reason this one will now be closed.

Inevitably, on a forum as large as this, a discussion about a word that was chosen by His Majesty the King becomes "critical" by adverse criticism.
