Eryri National Park Authority have announced that their decision to use the Welsh name over Snowdonia, and Yr Wyddfa instead of Snowdonia will be made permanent after proving a success at its main goals: Protecting the Welsh Language, improving national pride, and annoying the English.
"It makes every Welsh person very proud," said Rhys Jones, the National Park's spokesperson. "We always delight at looking blankly at tourists when they ask where 'eerie' is, rather than the correct pronunciation of 'Ehruhre'. Or we send them on the road back to England, after charging them £5 for a cup of tea and slice of Bara Brith."
Members of the Welsh Assembly welcomed the move, with one remarking, "Protecting our heritage while also infuriating tourists is a great win-win. We particularly enjoy the irony of taking money from English types who complain about people not making an effort to integrate or learn the language after they've spent money on holiday homes in Wales."
