That's cultural relativism for you.
In the Iroquois language, Schenectady is spelled with only 4 letters and is actually a mono-syllabic word!

Schdy used to be the town that "IF you made it in Schenectady you would make it ANYWHERE in show business" and eventually to "off broadway" in the big apple.. Proctors theatre was THEE place to start!!
and at the time IF you went to it by rail, you had to climb out of the coach to get off at the downtown train station. It stopped on a left handed banked curve and was murder gettin off the train.. 
Your town is what YOU make of it!

What school are you taking classes at? Do they hook you up to a computer and download the information directly into your brain? I gotta get me some of that!

Schenectady (IPA /ske'nktdi/) is a city in Schenectady County, New York, United States, of which it is the county seat. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 61,821. Schenectady is the 9th largest city in New York State. The name "Schenectady" is derived from a Mohawk word for "on that side of the pinery," or "near the pines," or "place beyond the pine plains."
The City of Schenectady is in eastern New York State, near the confluence of the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers. It is in the same metropolitan area as the state capital, Albany, New York; Schenectady is about 7 miles north-west of Albany.
HISTORY:
The area that is now Schenectady was originally the land of the Mohawk tribe of the Iroquois Nation. When Dutch settlers arrived in the Hudson Valley in the middle of the 17th century, the Mohawk called the settlement at Fort Orange "Schau-naugh-ta-da", meaning "over the pine plains." Eventually, this word entered the lexicon of the Dutch settlers, but the meaning was reversed, and the name referred to the bend in the Mohawk River where the city lies today.
Schenectady was first settled in 1661 when the area was part of the Dutch colony of New Netherland. Settlement was led by Arent van Curler of Nijkerk in the Netherlands, who was granted letters patent to Schenectady in 1684.
On February 8, 1690, the Schenectady massacre, led by France and its Indian allies, resulted in the death of all but 60 of Schenectady's inhabitants.
In 1765, Schenectady was incorporated as a borough. It was chartered as a city in 1798.
During the American Revolutionary War the local militia unit the 2nd Albany County Militia Regiment was active during the Battle of Saratoga and in fights against Loyalist troops.
Union College was founded here in 1795.
In 1887, Thomas Edison moved his Edison Machine Works to Schenectady. In 1892, Schenectady became the headquarters of the General Electric Company.
Schenectady is home to WGY-AM, one of the first commercial radio stations in the United States. The station was named after its owner, General Electric (the G), and the city of Schenectady (the Y). General Electric also generated the first regular television broadcasts in the United States in 1928, when experimental station W2XB began regular broadcasts on Thursday, Thursday and Friday afternoons. This television station is now WRGB, for years, the Capital District's NBC affiliate, but more recently, its CBS affiliate. (see: 1928 in television).
Historic population of Schenectady: 13,655

Try THIS on for size ZEN darlin'  :
John 3:16 in the Seneca Iroquois language
Aseken ne Niio tsini sakohnoronkrahon nonkre,
iaj tatesakohnonhianiheki n'enskat ok roriraien,
asakaon tosa aiahiheie tsini iakon tiakaretakon raonhake,
ok eken tanon neh aiakoientake ne raonhake aietsenri atsennonniat....
My wife was from there and we lived there for 3 years. I worked at Bldg 23 Gas Turbine at GE before I/we went back to a better higher paying job at Kodak.. Not a bad town at all, but THAT was back in 1974...  OMG!!! Did I just age myself again..

Proctors is a fun place, I know it used to be really popular and such, there are plays and cool stuff going on there, and its really the only good part of this city....right now this city is the rotting hollowed remains of something that used to be great...
