Those were decisions to change the specific names of specific places, not a decision to handle country names in the general way OP was describing.

why did they decide

Nobody sat down and made a decision to handle country names the way we do. It organically happened the way it did for no particular reason other than it works well enough.

why don’t we change everything back to how the countries’ place names are pronounced by their citizens out of respect

Nobody cares enough to undertake this. I don’t particularly care that people call the US by different names in their languages. People in Turkey aren’t asking us to pronounce their country’s name the same way they do. Most people are happy to apply the inverse golden rule on this, i.e., I don’t pronounce your country’s name the way you do, so I’m not going to expect you to pronounce my country’s name the way I do.

Would it make things harder or would it allow us to grow?

Yes, but I think it would be a lot of work for not much growth. You don’t learn a lot about a place by just pronouncing its name differently.

It’s very funny to take this tack when you are basically claiming to be the smartest person in the country, the only one to see the plain truth of the situation

I can’t think of Reagan’s shooter’s name, either. That isn’t proof it was staged.

Love that straight up QAnon level shit is getting the majority of upvotes here. Good sign, the future is bright
