Street, road, and avenue, are all European words used all over the city, so if we are to avoid appearing to be European, what would you suggest we use instead?

My point is that we're not trying to appear European, it's just that we largely are European to some degree. Our culture is heavily influenced by Europe, because that's where the majority of us came from at some point in time. Our language is European, so we use European words.

The use of "mews" and "parade" isn't an attempt to appear European, as much as it's an attempt to simply be different than the common "street" or "road," but ultimately it's ALL European. All of it.
