The Habsburg Family never used a different writing system, though.
- tanseydavid 11mo agoBut I bet they used the metric system!
- steve1977 11mo agoProbably, but only since the 19th century ;)
- monerozcash 11mo agoThey did use a different language with different pronunciation rules, though. I'm not convinced that sticking with the original spelling is obviously better. Bibis’s first name certainly doesn't accurately transliterate to Benjamin, and that's probably fine.
- hurfdurf 11mo agoThey use the name "Habsburg". Who is the NYT to tell them they are in fact not "Habsburg"?
- monerozcash 11mo agoI don't think the NYT is telling them that.
