The level of arrogance some western-hemisphere Spanish speakers have, trying to tell foreigners that the name they use for their own country in their own native language is wrong, demanding that they translate the Spanish name and use that instead, is so absurdly entitled that it's just... hilarious.

- Brian_K_White 7mo agoIt's so wierd to perceive that as arrogance. Actually "wierd" is being too nice.
- marssaxman 7mo agoIn your world, then, is it normal to complain about other people's names, and expect them to change what they call themselves to better suit your preference?
