Yeah, Langobards and Longobards would be nice type-ins. Though admittedly I'm biased since I failed that question because the German word is “Langobarden” and I translated it to Langobards.
Kicking myself for not remembering him. Had a French exchange student tell me how to pronounce his name properly. A French name, spoken by someone from France, is beautiful. A French name, spoken by someone from the US, is a catastrophe.
I'd be quite impressed with seeing someone nailing the fecal matter of 95 different individuals to a single door. You'd have to wonder how he would get them to stay up there.
Louis XVII was never really king of France. Only the royalists considered that the imprisoned son of Louis XVI was the legitimate king from his father's beheading (in january 1793) until his death (which must have occured in 1795). Of course his uncle chose the number Louis XVIII, but he was only the 17th Louis ;).
Some consistency please. You routinely leave us with a hanging "h" when we type "Riyadh", yet demand the "e" in Livingstone. Also, Liberia was founded FOR, not BY freed slaves.
Lads, lads, lads… have a look in the top right of your keyboards, you’ll see a button with a left-pointing arrow on it. It might say ‘backspace’ or ‘delete’ on it. Hit that one time, that’s gonna solve all of your problems. Well, most of them.
While it is correct that the aerial warfare branch of Nazi Germany was called Luftwaffe, the term is not restricted to Nazi Germany but is just the German word for air force. Germany's air force has been and is still called Luftwaffe since it's beginnings. Even another country's air force is referred to as that country's Luftwaffe. So, the Royal Air Force becomes the Britische Luftwaffe in German. Not sure if they'd approve...

Does it sound wrong? Well, it's about as correct as the one about Lombards and Italy.
I mean: much of Italy was controlled by Lombards, but the parts that weren't were and are very important.
