You know, this sort of thing is why I should pay more attention to the BBC besides tuning in to the news for 10 minutes in the morning.

The Ouch blog is really good, and the BBC as a whole have a very good attitude to accessibility on their website.

Is it wrong to think that most of the students at Yamaku would have a hard time pronouncing Lilly's name? Especially those bad at English like Hisao?
I mean, I don't know if it's just a false stereotype, but
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percepti ... e_speakers leads me to believe they'd most likely resolve to pronouncing her name wrong, like Riri. I remember it really tripped me up when I was a kid watching Inuyasha and Kirara's name was pronounced Kilala in the English dub.
Anyway, do they ever mention this?
I don't mean to offend if I am, phonetics just intrigue me, especially if her boyfriend couldn't pronounce her name correctly.

Not really. Her name was amongst the easiest to pronounce
Lilly --> リリー or "riri-"
Not a problem at all. If you want a hard-to-pronounce name, try a name from middle-east or SEAsia. Some of those names are tongue-twisters

Hmm…
The article wrote:The elder of the two, Haixia, 54, was born blind in his left eye because of a cataract, and since a fragment of stone flew into his right eye during a factory accident in 2000, he has been totally blind.
One good eye and it gets taken out. Well ain't that some shit.
NB: none of the above is a request

That was extremely heartwarming
I expect that Molly would indeed be proud.

No doubts that Shizune is loving the BBC's coverage of the UK General Election

Lilly's blue eyes are sparkling. However, Scotland may indeed soon be a completely different country politically.
