"Craig" does not = "Greg" with a "C" instead of a "G".

AND WHAT THE FUCK WAS WITH COLIN POWELL?

Because they are French.

MALKY CABRERA IS A NEW YORK YANKEE (I hate them)

 

[The Question]

Because if we pronounced it, "KRAYG" we'd all instantly translocate to the U.K.

And the U.K. does not want that.

AND WHAT THE FUCK WAS WITH COLIN POWELL?

It's how he pronounces his name. He was named after a Jamaican athlete (runner or swimmer, I can't remember) who's name was pronounced the same way.

It's much more amusing to think he was named after something to do with SHIT comin' outta yer ASS.
