Re: ACEOs
Wally is the original British version, Waldo is the American translation I believe.
I am arguing with you because I grew up with Waldo dammit! He will always be Waldo in my heart.
Besides, if you call him Wally, how does Odlaw make sense? Answer me that.

Re: ACEOs
Why was an American 'translation' even necessary? It makes no sense!

Re: ACEOs
Then why would they give him a more queer name instead?

Re: ACEOs
English things are always translated into American. Otherwise Americans wouldn't buy/read/listen/watch it. That's why instead of just showing the British Office, American Idol, All in the Family, they had to make new, more American, versions.
I even have a couple of Wodehouse books in American*, and my mom owns the first four Harry Potter books in American.
*I didn't mean to, they changed the title of the book, so I didn't think I owned it yet.

Re: ACEOs
But if we were to stop the practice, think of all the British English -> American English translators who'd be out of a job!?

Re: ACEOs
Do you need regrets to have responsibility?

Whaaaaaat
Police said they spent some time working out if they could charge the man with being armed with a weapon, as technically he was armed with part of a fish.
