[HCDX] names of countries, coins, etc.

[Herman_Boel@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Not a pure DX related message but interesting for everyone, I think.

It is sometimes hard to know how the name of a country, its inhabitant
or its currency is written correctly.  The website of the European Union
has a very interesting list, listing all the countries in the world.  You can
get the same list in all languages of the European Union.

This is the English page (at the top of this page you can choose other
language):
http://europa.eu.int/comm/translation/currencies/entable1.htm


For those interested in writing good and proper English, there is also
an English style guide at:
