Turkey demands that the whole world only uses the term Türkiye

[JGalt]

Well then I look forward to seeing you use the new international spelling of Türkiye so you dont run the risk of being wrong.

Apparently everyone else is wrong too. All I saw was everyone calling it "Turkey."

Cool. I see Gulf of Mexico everywhere too. I guess we are on the same page. Call it what you want. I am using Türkiye now since I was asked to by the people it refers to. No extra effort needed. Only red hats call the gulf of mexico something different though.

Pretty sure they don’t have the authority to demand such a thing

None of that matters one bit. It's now the "Gulf of America" and some third-world shithole can call itself "Gobble Gobble" for all I care.

in German it is like this

the country Turkey = Türkei
the bird turkey = Trut.hahn

no mixing up

They will get that from me when they stop calling Constantinople Istanbul.

Actually, Istanbul is an adaptation of Constantinople. Byzantine Greek, "ei stin poli" (literally; in the city), much like Izmir is an adaptation of Smyrna which was the Greek name.

How consistent of you. If Trump tells you, all good, if it is from someone other than Trump, screw em. I am impressed with your conviction and love for another grown man. Modern times I guess.

Germany has many names in different languages

We dont demand that everybody should write Deutschland

That's because the Germans realize that a lot of Americans would hear "Deutschland" and write it down phonetically as "Doucheland"

Rule #7 on USMB: You will know when a poster loses an argument because they will result to childish name calling.

Arent you the goons who think everyone should be calling the Gulf of Mexico some made up name now?

The Democrats renamed Mt. McKinley in honor of an SUV.

Talking about "madeup" names.

/----/ "We dont demand that everybody should write Deutschland"
Only because you guys lost the Battle of Britain and ran out of fuel during the Battle of the Bulge. Otherwise, we'd all be speaking German.

you would not ....

we Germans are tolerant and allow any langugage

including Sscottish and Irish Gaelic

Actually Denali was renamed Mt McKinley for no reason. Dude wasnt from Alaska, had never been to the mountain, and had a unspectacular administration. Was returned to Denali and then back to McKinley. I expect next president to make it Denali.

OK, we'll call it Mount Trump. Reagan has already been used near Las Vegas.

Actually, McKinley was a tremendous President who successfully defeated the Spanish in an epic war before a liberal anarchist whacked him.

If he wasn't effective as President, the libs would have never targeted him.

That's why McKinley was honored by having this tremendous mountain named for him, as well as his picture being on the $500 bill.
