Disrespectful to shorten family names? Really? I wonder if Wiggo agrees 
Life's too short. Stephen fry has a wonderful video which is broadly on this topic, apparently you can't embed videos here but it is linked to below.

I hate the term "gruppo"
Campy doesn't bother me but i myself have always called it Campag' and not forgetting to put the ' on the end of the G'
As for short cuts in names it doesn't bother me personally! For instance my real name 'is' Ian but
i've had many friends call me E' - E'BO - E'ON - IRONMAN - I'ON
What next ? Do we start criticizing peoples spellings :roll:

I used to find a Squire Paramount was a good substitute. When all you've got is a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail...tintin40":37io3l48 said:Cycling in London you need a hammer some times
Campy is an Americanism, and as such it would be improper to object to its use by Americans. The French say "Campa" as if it were an abbreviation of "campagnard". Being British, I prefer "Campag".
This is an international site, and we're all citizens of the world. Let's enjoy our differences.

At a very lavish wedding reception in Paris a year or two ago I got involved in a lengthy, heated, and drunken argument with a couple of delightful Jewish girls from New York about the precise meaning of "thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's ass".
True.
