Quod oculus meus videt

De-Anglicisation

It’s noticeable across all media how the anglicisation of foreign words across nearly all media is being reversed.  This is just one example, though this is the first of these packages to have the Ukrainian spelling. 

It made me think about the place names I grew up with that have changed, many because of the original Empire influences including Rhodesia, Ceylon, Bombay, etc.  it’s sometimes hard to keep up with all of the changes taking place, particularly when you have been used to certain nouns being used for half a century.
