I don't think that counts. I've heard American Armed Forces members call Kaiserslautern K-Town, but I don't think that makes it "the English name for that town" any more than "Thess" is "the English name of Thessaloniki" even though that's what I've heard a bunch of Americans living in Greece call it. mu'o mi'e .filip. -- filip.niutyn.
