>i thought pittsburgh was in england, the name sounds like what a brit would call a city
According to teh interwebs:
>Pittsburgh is named after William Pitt, a former prime minister of England who had Scottish roots.
>When Pittsburgh was named, it was to pay respect to both Pitt and his Scottish heritage.
>In Scotland, most towns are pronounced "borough" but spelled "burgh" -- which is how Pittsburgh became Pittsburgh.
