I laughed, but I thought the joke didn't need comment. *L*

Not to mention weirdnesses like "St. John" being pronounced "sin-jin". 

Of course Scotland has it's fair share of strange place names, but they
aren't so much "overly endowed" with letters as they are hard for the
non-Scot to pronounce, like Drumnadrochit and Auchterarder.

For what it's worth, my wife (an American) thinks that the British
Commonwealth uses too many letters in its spellings, anyway. She's
always commenting on all the extra vowels used in British and Canadian
spelling.
