  1. 1. Turin or Turino?

    • Turin is the proper english name for the city so that is what I use
      15
    • I prefer to use the local name of Torino
      59
    • I use another name based on my non-english language
      2

  2. 2. What does your local media use? (whatever you watch/listen to the most)

    • Turin
      19
    • Torino
      36
    • An odd mix of the two
      11
    • Some stations use one, some stations use the other
      10

Don Cherry went off on a tangent about this last night, and gave the CBC crap for saying Turin. He said it's Torino, Italy. What a moron. Sure the city name is Torino, but the country name should also be Italia according to that logic (I agree, but no one will ever change that fact that we Anglicise other country's and city's names).

yeah, i hate that anoying guy!!! no one call Rome as Roma after all.
