"I've heard some BS in my time but that takes the biscuit."
I don't see an alternative explanation offered, so until that time I suggest you keep your obnoxious opinions to yourself.”

"That's my theory anyway."
I should keep your theories to yourself if your last post was anything to go by.

“You seem to know a bit of Chinese harry, or is that just a completely made up jumble of letters?
Did you ever wonder why Beijing changed its name to Peking?
Well it never did.
There are two (at least) methods of romanising Chinese characters. The reason Beijing became known as Peking is merely because the cross-over of use caused confusion.
The two methods are Wade-Giles and Pinyin.
Before the Pinyin system was more widely used the Wade-Giles method used different phonetics. The letter used for the English sounding 'B' was represented by the letter 'P'. Also the English sounding 'J' was represented by the letter 'K'.
The word, although written as 'Peking' was actually pronounced Beijing and so has never changed. (P)Bei(k)jing.
That's my theory anyway.”
