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

to the duplicity of Celtic & Keltic (though I doubt the b-ball team will
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.
