MODERATORS
Next thing you know, they are going to want English speakers to say Roma instead of Rome, Napoli instead of Naples, and so on.
Many countries do or did something like that already though? Like Peking -> Beijing, Ivory Coast -> Cote d'Ivore, Turkey -> Türkiye and so on.
oh my god, they want everyone to turn into my mother
It's almost like they want everybody to use special pronouns for Italy.
