Ok, what about a slow, powerful motor with a couple gears between it and the blades. And everything is well machined and lubricated.

But it’s so cringe when English speakers suddenly switch to a foreign accent to pronounce one word. And would you want to force speakers of other languages to do the same instead of using their own versions of English names?

What % of NYT readers voted for Trump? It has to be minuscule.

The election was so close, there are dozens of but-for causes that could have tipped the scale, but the NYT not being sufficiently alarmist about Trump (which is what that CNN article you linked claims - not that the paper was a proponent of Trump, as you say) probably wasn’t one of them.
