I think it is. Syntax needs to find a more original shtick.

Ah OK - Guess you are not aware that it could have been called "Caerdydd Glan y Môr"
So perhaps you should have cried aplenty when your people the Dutch named the tip of wot we call Manhattan NY as New Amsterdam instead.
In fact after a look up I C your relatives raped n pillaged what we call USA - Cape Cod - Mid-Atlantic States of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Connecticut, with outposts in Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. And the very NERVE of them to call it New Amsterdam.
Anyway as I remember it the developer at turn of 20th century bought quality farm land and this property I live on and his wife was from Caerdydd Glan y Môr, Wales and she insisted on naming many a street here after her streets in Caerdydd Glan y Môr. "Birmingham", "Oxford", "Chesterfield" and "Manchester"
Birmingham and Manchester are the major streets from Freeway to my way. (Not counting my Coast Hwy 101.

And what's the deal with New York? It's not new, it's over 300 years old!

Hell if I no Y so of course I asked one of my Favorite stocks Google (has new name but lets not get bogged down in new names)
The English took over the colony in 1664 during the second Anglo-Dutch War. They changed the name to New York, to honor the Duke of York, who later became King James II of England. The Dutch surrendered Nieuw Amsterdam without fighting.
