While you were sleeping, Turkey changed its name < tooradical2 >


Its proper name is now Turkeyi

Unfortunately, Americans and the British will never get it right.
The number of place names that Americans mispronounce is large.
The world suspects it's a problem with their educational system.

So, if you're an American, everyone will still expect you to still call it Turkey.

And to call Tijuana "Ti-a- wana".
And to call Las Vegas "Loss-Vegus"
And to call New York "New Yawk"

..and to drive the point home...

The capital of France is pronounced "Pear-ee"
Our 50th state is pronounced "Ha-va-ee" not "Hi-wa-ya"
and the list goes on...
