#'эмммммм вапщета сагласна славарю/распаряжении админисрации президента рф па русски пишеца алма ата!!!' я тебя задушу блять как вы заебал

[tomirida]

what annoys me about russian wikipedia and russian journalism is that they insist on using soviet names for central asian places: alma-ata instead of almaty, for instance, or kirgiziya instead of kyrgyzstan. when one corrects them they get defensive and cite the writing norms of the russian federation, but they miss the fact that russian is one of the official languages of qazaqstan and kyrgyzstan, and is also the mother tongue of many of its citizens, so the two countries are completely within their rights to form their own norms of the russian language. you forced the language on us, so don't be upset when we use it however we want. the same happened with spanish, english, and french, but unfortunately the memo hasn't reached russian yet.
