English is weird

--- Quote from: Gladstone on 03 Aug 2015, 22:03 ---My favorite grammatically-correct sentence in English is "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo." Wikipedia only recognizes it as Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo, but I like to make it more violent with added buffaloing.

Earlier in this thread, I think we established that literally any number of repititions of the word buffalo is grammatically correct

I'm not saying that to be a dick, I'm genuinely uncertain whether we did that as a group or if it was all in my head.
I tend to make things up

It probably happened. My fault for not (at least) skimming the thread before jumping in.

Listening to a video on YouTube, I was surprised to hear Magellan (as in Ferdinand Magellan the explorer and navigator) pronounced "Majellan". I have always heard and pronounced the name with a hard G, and Wikipedia lists the two pronunciations as alternatives. Is this a variation between US English and "Commonwealth" English?
Method of Madness:
I've never heard anyone pronounce it with a hard g, so I guess so.
