Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.

Re: Mount McKinley restored to native name of Denali
To be fair, that explanation of the name is disputed. That is, nobody ACTUALLY knows why they are called the Grand Tetons. Some sources say they are actually named for the Lakota, who were often referred to as the Teton Sioux.LadyTevar wrote: You're assuming the average American even knows what "Grand(e) Teton" means.
