History and tradition brought us to where we are. It has nothing to do with respect or not for another culture. Likely, they do the same to other countries. I know for a fact that Spanish speakers refer to London as Londres. As far as I know, the Brits take no offense. You can go on a crusade to change the culture if you want to. There's a lot of that going around these days. You go ahead, and I'll watch.G26ster wrote:I think Abraham's question/point is being missed. It's not a question of HOW we got to this point, rather a question of WHY we cannot respect another country's language to call it what THEY call/pronounce it. In what we call Germany for example, they call it Deutchland. It doesn't matter if others call it Germany or not, and it's NOT a question of pronunciation. It's a question of failure to respect another country's language/culture to call it what THEY call it in the present day, in THEIR language. Why can't we? Is it too difficult? Too inconvenient? In Italy, THEY call it Italia, why can't everyone else just call it Italia?
