Lovely crowd and great comments at the end of my talk on placenames of the Liberties Dublin as part of the wonderful Culture Date D8 festival. Thanks to the staff of Hyatt Centric The Liberties Dublin who were so welcoming in hosting it.

The 1% Club I'll be honest, I thought it was placenames, as in The Mailbox in Birmingham! I wasn't sure if there were places called The Light and The Mirror!

Navigating by 19thC mapping in Dublin, en route to full Irish-speaking immersion at Ceardlann Logainmneacha Logainm.ie Dublin City University followed by more placenames with SNSBI . Viking house based on Wood Quay excavations...

tidjani (التجاني) | 🇲🇷🇪🇭 This seems to happen quite a bit already in practice; I've seen lots of placenames, etc rendered in decidedly non-French ways, for ex. Aoueyvia village more popularly written Awevia. Not sure if it's just creeping global Anglicization or what's the influence behind it?

Working on the American Religious Project taught me how to work with desperate and messy datasets, specifically the often unsung labor of cleaning up placenames.

Adam🌹📯 almost all of these are named the same way that places in Ireland are named: an attempt of anglicising irish placenames

Scored 12/15 in the Guardian apostrophe quiz. A little unfair as it had questions about placenames, which often ignore the apostrophe rules. I scored 100% on the actual linguistic questions though, which is what matters.

Richard Whitters Raglin looks pretty chill, and comfortably far from the more foreboding placenames on the map 😅

Absolutely Chaotic Math Lion Arc 🤯😱👀 Could you give an example of a definition you don’t agree with, and how you would define it differently? What is the difference with disagreeing with Webster’s dictionary, or placenames in Japan?
