Subject: Are we spelling it correctly? Fri Feb 19, 2010 7:12 pm
In Primark today (last of the big spenders ) I saw this bright yellow T-shirt with "Brasil" on it. I said to my friend, "Surely that should be 'Brazil' " and she told me I was out of date and very non-pc, we shouldn't be trying to force our 'Z' on other countries that want to use 'S' !!! So the obvious question, are we driving Brazilian or Brasilian VDubs? And should the website be www.brasilianvwbay.com? Discuss

Afternoon all - just back from a little trip out West!
Erm anyone ever heard of "Brasil Nuts?" No.
If you type "Brasilian" into Google you get ZERO instant auto-suggestions for that but instantly loads for "Brazilian."
That's my angle on the subject.
