Oops, someone forgot languages evolve! Otherwise you must use Turkye, one of the Middle English spellings.
The United Nations agreed to their request, it’s a minor thing to let people spell it the way that was requested. You don’t have to, but others can. Languages evolve.

- pibaker 6mo agoLol I haven't seen anyone call Belarus white Russia in what, the past two decades? Some people do be like that Japanese solider fighting a already lost war decades after. I have never said turkiye before nor do I care about the country. I will do it now, in your face. Happy Saturday and stay triggered!
- unethical_ban 6mo agoI have never heard someone call Belarus White Russia, notably any of the Belarusians or Russians I know. I have no idea why someone would do that. Of all the hills to die on...
- fguerraz 6mo agoThey evolve and they don’t. People call things whatever they want. How is it going for X/Twitter?
- port11 6mo agoTwitter/X is a company, it calls itself whatever it wants, and is likely registered somewhere under a specific name. Okay, people don’t call it X, the same way people pronounce IKEA weirdly or refer to vacuums as hoovers. Language is a malleable, artificial construct. What’s your point? That some people are stuck in their ways? Because the comment I was responding to was appalled that someone dares use the modern spelling for a country.
