Banana Canada posted:... Not states, but everybody at my current work refers to Cote d'Ivoire as CDI, which confused me for a while. Having the 'd' in the abbreviation makes no sense because it's a preposition. At my old job it was always RCI (Republique de Cote d'Ivoire). At both places there are people who insist on pronouncing it coat dee vwaa

The Pepsi brand doc should be on the next extra-solar space vehicle launched from Earth. Fair warning and all that.

Do either the people who make this bullshit or the people who buy it think it’s somehow worth the money, or is it just rich people doing a bit of wealth redistribution among themselves
