Why aren't Türkiyes complaining about the spelling... what was it,Turkije?

@irisesinbloom848 Actually, it's officially the French Republic or la République française, but while the French may be picky, they're not nit-picky that way. Deutschland über Alles is too obvious. I prefer obscure indigenous country names (or demonyms) like Hrvatska, Suomi, Magyar and Srpska. That way, it won't be just the usual suspects, the Americans, but practically no foreigner will know which country is concerned.

@irisesinbloom848 I make no such claim. And you're repeating yourself.

@irisesinbloom848 You keep repeating the very same argument, which I don't even disagree with. Names of foreign countries are typically localized in any language -- it's not just anglophones who're at it. It's interesting that Turkey suddenly has a problem with this widespread and age-old custom. BTW, you underscore my observation that sarcasm doesn't work on YouTube.
