Talk:Kosciuszko Bridge

Pronunciation
I moved the pronunciation section to the discussion page since it is in a respelling system without any reference about the key:


 * Although many broadcast announcers pronounce the name of the bridge as "kahs-kee-OOSH-koh", and most Brooklynites render it "kahs-kee-OSS-ko", the actual Polish pronunciation approximates "kohsh-CHOOSH-koh".

I think they could be and, while the Polish pronunciation is [kɔɕˈt​͡ɕuʂkɔ]; Anyway, the best way to confirm these pronunciations would be an audio file.--Carnby (talk) 10:56, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, no one has answered in three years' time, so I decided to put in my pronunciation proposals.--Carnby (talk) 12:55, 14 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Don't know why I didn't answer this, since I have it on my watch list for just this reason. Your edits look fine, apart from the "although" (when did the original pron. ever matter much in English?) — kwami (talk) 19:59, 14 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm not a native English speaker, so mistakes could happen; anyway I copied that paragraph from the previous version.--Carnby (talk) 20:53, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

John Kelly
The section about former navy diver John Kelly seems questionable. The citation refers to an article from the Long Island Daily Press, but apparently this article is not available online. The section about Kelly says that he was "famous." However, because the citation refers to a local newspaper, one must assume that Kelly was at best famous only in the Long Island area. In any event, it is not clear what he was famous for, other than "helping" to build the bridge. Of course, many other peopled worked on the bridge, so it is unclear why he is being singled out for special recognition. Did he somehow contribute significantly to the advancement of cofferdam design, or perhaps to the science of welding? Perhaps the section about Kelly should be removed.76.113.117.65 (talk) 06:59, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
