i had heard a few years back and i can't remember where, that there was a move to start calling this island by the proper name of Hawaii island. i got the feeling that it was the tourist industry being pressured by folks who are trying to right some of the pronunciations of all things Hawaiian.
On another similar note the way the news folks are pronouncing Halema'uma'u (instead of Halemaumau) is totally different then the way i have always heard it in the past...
which then begs the question -How should you say lau lau?
