"United States" in French (États-Unis) would have made a very confusing acronym

Lemmy

I am forever annoyed that every language has the audacity to rename other countries to something that is not their name.

Germany? It’s called Deutschland

Spain? España.

Russia? Rossiya.

It’s everywhere and it’s weird.

And while we’re at it, why do languages have the audacity to use ANY words different from other languages!

See how this sounds?
