"Lithuanians refer to the president of the United States as Dzordzas 
Volkeris Busas. There is a partial excuse for that-Lithuanian needs an 
ending with "s" in order to decline male names correctly."

And Lithuania deserves further credit for standing up to the European 
Commission and insisting on "euras" for "euro" .
