Audio File   DCGeist is vandalising this article by repeatedly removing content while refusing to exaplin the problem or start a discussion to correct the problem  The problem he says is style which he believes very clearly explains the problem  He prefers to delete content rather than help to edit the page to allow its inclusion  Is United States to be the only country in the Western Hemisphere without an audio file for pronunciation of the name   When did style become so important that it justifies the deletion of content over style correction     The addition is ungrammatical It clutters the articles opening sentence It is visually offputting and difficult to read This is a very significant stylistic concern by contrast the addition of an audio clip pronouncing two common English words is a minor and unnecessary matter of content     Could you explain why you think the addition is ungrammatical in the parenthetical comment  Do you have a proposed solution that will avoid deleting content or is deleting content your purpose  The opening can be reworded rather than deleting content  Please note that the pronunciation even of common words in English is of value to both nonnative speakers as well as nativeborn speakers since even common words may change pronunciation within a proper name  Please justify having only one country in North America whose article is forbidden to contain an audio file     While remaining mostly neutral on this front please dont call something vandalism when its not This is a disagreement and under the terms of Bold Revert Discuss the onus is actually now upon you to justify its inclusion not the other way around But either way its not obvious vandalism It annoys admins when people throw that term around Or at least me And as for Is United States to be the only country in the western hemisphere I point out that United States is the only country name in the Western hemisphere made up entirely of common words without proper names of America is different of course but the audio file isnt about that name So there is an argument to say that it is the country least in need of a pronunciation guide since theres no unusual or proper words in that particular name     But united contains vowels which do not behave in the way that nonnative speakers expect  I have taught English overseas and have seen the problems firsthand  The word united has no encyclopedia article here nor pronunciation given for a nonnative speaker to examine  Also the word states is a plural and English plurals have two possible pronunciations for the added final s s or z according to rules that native speakers learn but which nonnative speakers struggle with  For these reasons alone nonnative speakers
