Sparrows, always has been. I also like pigeons. And house finches.

Huge government conspiracies....

3. What is your favourite part of the UK?
Sterling, and I really adore that the butterfly bush is considered a weed in Scotland.

4. Do you have a favourite country?
I'm pretty laid back. I suppose not. I like Scotland, though, and Australia.

5. What kind of work do you do?
Right now? I clean house, cook a lot, and write.

So, a critiquer tells me that she can't buy a country's language being called Versh (by another country) if the country's name is Verina. I don't really see why not, but I am considering her protest. Is this something I need to change?

Examples:
England=English
Spain=Spanish
France=French
Portugal=Portuguese
Germany=German
Holland=Dutch
Italy=Italian

Then all the migratory language names:
Mexico=Spanish (that's the whole migration thing)
Canada=English and French
Australia=English

So, should I change the name of the country? or the name of the language? Or neither?
