Cleaned up the 'Goof' section, and renamed it 'Naming and language errors', which I think gets the message across plainly. [[User:Samadriel|Samadriel]] 09:41, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

:Incidentally, I think Rockstar really did make a half-arsed effort on the linguistic side; part of the mispronunciation can be put down to how badly voice-acting is directed and managed in the games industry, but still, it's something that could've been sorted; and the actual naming would've been easy as pie to get right, but... nope!  So I think it's fair to call them errors.  I chose not to explicitly call it an 'error' that Niko has a Croatian name (as Rockstar may have meant it to suggest his dad was Croatian or suchlike).  I find that a bit doubtful though, I'm sure Niko would've had an even ''worse'' wartime experience if he'd been half-Croatian.
