*cough*Burma*cough*
The UK (rightly) doesnt recognise the junta’s name change, and the elected President of Burma doesn’t support it either. What USians do is up to them…
Mmm.. yeah I think its Burma that is the politically correct name… especially since the pro-democracy activists use it
Ok. But, as regular attendee in pedant’s corner, I’ll point out that the UN recognises the name Myanmar.
BTW. Do we know if Burma was the colonial name, or the indigenous one?
After independence in 1948 Burma was chosen, only renamed Myanmar by the SLORC in 1989. UN recognises it, UK and US doesn’t.
Sunny—nowt t’do with PC, everything to do with the preferences of those that live under the evil bastards.
