Real Names Please

2007 / 10 / 16 · 3 Comments  

We live in a globalized world…
It’s time we start calling countries by their real names.
It’s kind of stupid that each language calls other countries whatever they want.

Let’s call Japan, Nippon.
Finland, Suomi.
Germany, Deutschland.
India, Bh?rat.

Etc, etc…
