BlueStar Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I'd trust the Sun over Parky tbh. I know him. Dum dum dah... He is friends with the Maktooum family and certain big time property boys in Dubai and Hong Kong. Between them they have 5 yachts. I can't say whether he will buy the club, but he exists, sky have probably spelt the name Englishstylee... Well, you can only spell it Englishstylee really, when you're translating a name from a language which uses a different alphabet all you can do is spell it phonetically. That's why there's so many inconsistencies in western spellings of Arab names and things like Taliban/Taleban. Is there a more common spelling of it we could search for though? Or do you know how to spell it in Farsi or whatever? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Thing is, all the papers are using the same spelling and they've obviously all got that spelling from somewhere so it's been used before. Even if it wasn't the most common spelling, you should be able to find an instance of it on English language sites considering business deals with rich middle-easterners get into the financial press. You'd think alternative spellings would be close enough for a "did you mean" suggestion if there's results for something like Sirrus Marjoob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
