  1. That may be the grammar rule in the English language but not in German. And Budweiser is definitely a German name.

  6. In German the "w" is pronounced as a "v". Just because we live in the US doesn't mean everyone follows our rules about grammar (or anything else). I mean, for chrissakes, Obama lives here and he doesn't follow anybody's rules.

  9. I notice that in peoples' names it's mostly reversed. Keith comes to mind, but now that I started typing this... well..., anyway, there's a LOT of names with this reversal.

  10. we were taught I before E with the exceptions of neighbor and weigh. I know proper names aren't included and I'm sure someone can come up with words that are like neighbor and weigh and of course this is just the English Language.
