Well, to be a comPLETE pedant, Freddie was born in Zanzibar. He left before it merged with Tanganyika and became Tanzania.

To up the pedantry yet another notch, Freddy Mercury was not born in Zanzibar. The person who was born in Zanzibar was Farrokh Bulsara. “Freddy Mercury” didn’t exist until many years later.

And “Freddie Mercury” was “born” in England in that case. The other Queen of England.

Who is this ‘Freddy’ person. TECHnically, he’s ‘Freddie’.

You guys are setting the record for pedantry here. Time to crown a champion.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I think we need Chief Pedant to sort this one out.
