When Did Kiev Become Kyiv And Now Keeeev?
Don’t the BBC do your head in!!?
For the entirety of my life it’s been Kiev.....as in Dynamo “Key Ev” in terms of pronunciation, I’m sure we’ll all agree on that.
Over the last few days the BBC have gone from Kiev as we’ve always known it to Kyiv with some news readers pronouncing it as “Key If”.
Today it’s gone to full blown Keeeeev FFS!😤
What is wrong with these people?
It’s always been know as Kiev in this country, why this re writing?
I’ll bet the BBC’s “PC” department have been all over this latest load of b o l l o c k s!
