Related:

[#4395636] He was elected mayor of Boston.

We would normally say the name of the city, so I contributed this one.

Well, let's just say that I wouldn't bother writing a comment suggesting a link, if I wasn't 100% sure that it is a perfect match. After the little talk I had with you and raggione in the comment section the other day, I know that I can only suggest links on sentences which are pretty much 100% literal.

However, that doesn't mean I won't make any mistakes in the future. I'm not perfect so an unfortunate link due to my suggestion is bound to occur at some point, but I'm trying my best and my German and English skills are somewhat decent. So I guess the odds that this will happen are miniscule to say the least.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you have to decide whether you have trust in my abilities or not. ;)
