Iceseven, it used to be called Basle, but now it's called Basel (Swiss-German), Bâle (Swiss-French) or Basilea (Swiss-Italian). Normally, the German spelling dominates, it being a very German oriented city.
As to the point of this thread, some people would think a dog turd was attractive if it was platinum plated and studded with diamonds. Very sad.

I know that it's called Basel in swiss-german, but my company here in Basel still writes "Basle" if they write some stuff in english.
And yes, some may really think that it's kind of a dork-conversation going on here...
