I'm 100% opposed to telling people how to speak their language. I don't even like telling people who use English as a lingua franca how to use it in a culturally "correct" way.

Normally, I'm outspoken against most "domestic" proposals to change words, since the rationale and implementation are usually very poor.

But as an American, I've decided that Turkiye without the ΓΌ is more desirable than Turkey. It resolves an annoyingly ambiguous search term, doesn't change anything about how it's pronounced, reads the exact same way, and it's trivial to switch how I write it. It really is a superior design with a painless transition.
