What is it with multiple placenames spellings in Ireland?
Local people spell a place one way and the 'official' spelling is different.
Examples?! How about these (Official = O. Local = L):
- Tobercurry (O) vs Tubbercurry (L).
- Dunglow (O) vs Dungloe (L).
- Cabragh (O) vs Cabra (L).
- Cahersiveen (O) vs Caherciveen (L).
- Annoyed vs Very Annoyed!
