I don't remember the details now, but a few years ago, Turkiye was big in the news because something bad was happening there. Maybe some kind of humanitarian crisis or something, I really don't remember. But at that time, there was this mass consensus that seemed to come out of nowhere and everywhere at once that we should be spelling the name of the country the way the Turkish people do, and so the media and lots of people switched over to this spelling.
So why aren't we doing it for every other country? Why just Turkey?
How should I know? I'm not the boss of country names. I was just telling that other poster what I remembered of why people started doing it for Turkiye.
Why are you getting snarky? It's an open forum. People are allowed to pose questions. If you don't have an answer, just don't reply.
