national currency one of those things. Or "dollars" even. What silly
names.
I like "peso" and "pound." Those make sense. What if we had named
_our_ currency after our national bird? The "bald eagle" would soon be
known as the "baldie." Or worse, if we had followed B. Franklin's
advice and adopted the wild turkey as our national bird, they would be
"turkeys." That's worse than the Canadian "loonie."
No offense to Turks or Victor Borge aficionados intended. I'm not
talking about the country, I'm talking about the bird.
