    I mean, watch “Meet the Parents” (2000) starring Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro. A trip to Thailand is discussed repeatedly where they definitely say Tai-land. It’s kind of obscure, but that it came out 23 years ago means it’s an unbiased source of language at the time.

    Evidence probably doesn’t matter to them, though.

      I feel like you could’ve come up with a better source than an American comedy movie from 20 years ago
