  • Oh, lol, I am sorry, Americanised. We did break it. Or they did.

  • No, I meant with what word the country wants to be referred as. Then, use those words as in Türkiye in America. Of course it was out of respect and agreement but it is a fantastic idea and it is just about the names. And countries might be left not changed because they don't care or it is too hard to pronounce. But there could be a teaching of pronunciation rather than spelling.

  • Now, I can understand that. Thank you.

  • Lol, what? It was educational. For me and anyone else who might want to know. The problem right here is I don't get sarcastic over a question asked in a community called no stupid questions. However, I am stupid for asking the wrong one. So, thank you. Sincerely, tho.

  • First, it would be a start, and second: it could be generalized to certain countries until a consensus was made. DOE/government or what is left of it could petition each country to decide this out of respect and cultural awareness. I dare not add any pathos to this argument. The more open-minded people there are the more it helps.

  • Thank you for this comment, I was aware, sorry for not adding as much detail as I needed to get the right answer. Seems I asked the question wrong. Wouldn't it help to learn these things in general less, make them available to learn at younger ages? If not already, because it would be grand.

  • I know, I think I forgot to mention I understand that other countries do this, sorry for specifying America as I cannot speak for other countries as I am not from them nor have I been to them. This was about cultural awareness, and the fact that by learning difficult things at a younger age, 'USA' would be better. They are already teaching things younger and younger as we advance as a society, why not add this? I hear young kids learning more and more difficult things. But making it easier or harder is less the question, but rather advancing and making people smarter and more cultured.

  • I would love to learn that. Even as a kid I probably would have loved it. However I understand the difficulty.

  • This is the correct answer. But I agree with the part it is unfortunate that they didn't respect and America doesn't respect enough to say España or 'la France' hopefully I am spelling that right.

  • Yeah, then they should make us pronounce all the countries correctly. My point exactly.

  • Why do Americanized names of places etc exist?

  • They should use phonetics and I am mostly talking about the country names not all words. English does use Türkiye now, I hope they do for most. But when there are pictures or a completely different language there are at least a lot of ways to illustrate pronunciation using phonetics, even of foreign language. America's education system might be improved in this way. Instead of no child left behind. No child left untaught. Then they wouldn't be behind, aside from learning disabilities and other disabilities.

    TIL that George Washington Carver didn't really invent peanut butter but just popularized it. He made some other pretty cool things like peanut rubber for WWII.
