Yes, you should never include definite articles in the official names of places.
That's why I tell people I grew up in Angeles, later moved to a town northwest of Paso (not Cruces, but another one), and some day I hope to visit Moines.

Those cities are all in United States.

Ampere, Volta and Watt are really common units, though.
Unlike, say, Weber or Gray.

I avoided the two-letter ones as being too permissive of pedantic dickweedery of the contrary type.

Starbucks strikes again...

That's better than the message that used to be printed on the return envelopes for my credit card statements (back before I started paying them online): recyclable and made from recycled waste.
And after filling out the payment slip and enclosing a check, they actually expected us to lick those!

Well frankly, I'm amazed that you even had to ask...

I assume that joke would be funnier if you knew what benihana is.
EDIT: oh it's a teppanyaki restaurant.
-
Srly?
-
If she had said "teppanyaki restaurant", then I would have gotten it. I've never heard of that specific chain of them. Apparently there's even one in Seattle, huh.
-
I think I've been to one of those... Do they have Benihana in Connecticut?
-
I've never been to Connecticut, but I've seen them at least on both coasts. As a generic term, I would have said Japanese steakhouse.
-
I already posted the correct term. It's Japanese cuisine, use the Japanese word. Damnit.

I don't speak Japanese. "Japanese steak house" is the correct term in the language I speak.

Oh right, I forgot you spoke Nazi.

Not as quickly as Cuba would be invaded, if Boomzilla ever got into a position of power.

Actually, I'm just not a fan of imprisoning dark skinned Cubans and keeping the rest in crushing poverty, like Blakeyrat is.

Wow. I didn't know someone had translated that... That reminded me of this contemporary text in a swedish magazine:
Translation: "Andreas Hedlund has gone through all conceivable software problems. Now he has reached the hardware, The mother modem, the heart of the harddrive, is not working."
Oldfarts used to refer to the computer as "the harddrive", but "mothermodem" was a new meme that was picked up massively by the computer-savvy youth in Sweden at the time. I have to try it on my students to see if they still get it.

So an integer walks into a bar.
The bartender says, "Hey, hold on a second there buddy. This was supposed to be a floating-point joke."
And the integer goes, "Yeah, it's a type pun."
