This is what happened with the revision of Chinese names to reflect the

ever change their spelling). Toukyou still remains Tokyo, though, Seattle

still remains Seattle (rather than Sealth), Roma remains Rome, and doubtless

many others will never change.



I was curious who were the powers that were who changed Khadaffi to Qadaffi

and Mao Tse Tun to whatever they changed it to. I tried to popularize it to

Kadaffy and Mousey Tongue and Sadamn Who'sinane but to no avail.
