I note with amusement that the NPR hosts slavishly refer to the nation as "mee anh maw" or something similar, in an attempt to be native, or something. I suppose they're showing their broad cultural experience and worldly non-judgmentalism. Meanwhile, the BBC defiantly calls it Burma. Ha ha. Your correspondent will continue to refer to the country per the BBC, because I don't think much of a junta and I'm not much for the trend of nativizing good English names for places. (I didn't call Turin 'Torino', either.)
Yeah, about all I really know about Burma is what I learned from Soundwave. There be ruby crystals for energon cubes in them thar hills.
