Ukraine's European Revolution?

[Queequeg]

I'm seeing Kyiv.  Which is retarded.

I thought Kyiv is how the Ukrainian government requested it be spelled.

They can do what they want, but Kiev is the English language name for the city; just as we have Rome and Munich, rather than their native language names.

Bingo.

You mean like Mumbai or Cote d'Ivoire?

[Queequeg]

Both of which were silly and motivated primarily by ethnic prejudice. 

[Queequeg]

Kiev was the spelling before Ukraine and, it looks like there's a real chance it will be the spelling after Ukraine.

I'll accept that when Britain changes York into Jorvik and hands back the Shetlands, Orkneys and most of Scotland.
Bloody retards.

Jorvik isn't the original name.  It was originally Eborcum or something like that.

And Kiev wasn't?

FYP

[Admiral Yi]

Mumbai is as normal a part of the lexicon now as Beijing.

[Ed Anger]

Still Peking to me.

You have the logic switched.  Kiev was switched to Kyiv as a fuck-you to Russian speakers.  It has always been Kiev in English and we aren't even going to change our pronunciation.

"We" being you and mongers?
