Seems a kind of ridiculous hill to die on, honestly. This isn't an official address at the UN. It's New York, not Nueva York! Fix your ...blog. It's Australia

Seems a kind of ridiculous hill to die on, honestly. This isn't an official address at the UN. It's New York, not Nueva York! Fix your ...blog. It's Australia, not Australie! Fix your ...blog. Both of the above would probably come across as culturally insensitive but in the other direction.

Its not a hill to die on at all, it's just a bit weird. Like how I would find it weird to translate Costa Rica into English.

  Costa Rica is the English name. Just like Spain is the English name.

    That's sort of my point. The Spanish words "Costa Rica" and the French words "Côte d'Ivoire" have the same status in English - they're each the preferred name for the respective place.
