Mad props to Jim Lehrer of the NewsHour for resisting the peer pressure to call Turin "Torino." We don't call Milan, Rome, Naples, Florence, and so on "Milano," "Roma," "Napoli," and "Firenze." In English, it's not "Torino," it's Turin.

I suggest you dust off a copy of Holy Fire [amazon.com], and prepare for the All-European Orthographic Reformation [amazon.com] that will soon be upon us.

If Turin is Torino in Italian why not use it?
Why use Finland when it's Suomi?
