Question by : What would a native call Saint Petersburg?
I’m talking about the Russian city, btw.
If you lived in Saint Petersburg, would you call your city “Saint Petersburg,” “Petersburg,” or “Piter”?
Also, on Wikipedia, it says that Saint Petersburg is often referred to as just “Petersburg” or “Piter.” I was wondering if those (specifically “Piter”) are just shortened terms with no connotation, or if they carry some sort of pejorative connotation or something?
Lastly, if I were writing a report, could I call it “St. Petersburg,” or do I have to write out the “Saint” in it?

Yes, if you were doing a report, you would have to say “St. Petersburg”, as it’s the official name of the city.
Well, you could just say Leningrad if you seem to have this much of a problem with writing in “Saint”. After all, that’s what it used to be called, and a lot of Russians still call it that.

Question by Dr Know It All: Jerry Falwell drops dead aged 73?He drags his lardarse up to the pearly gates and Saint Peter goes “Hey Jerry,
what’s up?” Jerry goes “My work is done, I’m now ready to sit at the right hand of God.” Peter goes “Now wait a minute Jerry, what have you done to make the world a better place?” Jerry goes “I founded a university to train right wing religious bigots for positions of power.” Peter says “Keep going.” Jerry says “I pinpointed the cause of the 9/11 attacks, it was those fags.” “Anything else?” asks Pete. “I revolutionised televangelism, turning it into a slick, money generating industry. Thanks to me, the airwaves are now choked with the likes of Benny Hinn and Joyce Meyer, not to mention that guy in the glass church.” Saint Pete scratches his beard for a moment, then goes “That’s all well and good Jerry, but places in Heaven are limited. I’m afraid you’re gonna have to hit me with something spectacular. What are you best remembered for?” Jerry scratches his butt, then goes “I got sued for distributing an excerpt from Hustler without the publisher’s permission.” I’ve run out of space…
