Literally the whole media switched spelling around this time.
iRaq and iRan are silly but the "Kyiv" stuff is different.

The most idiotic thing about this is that English pronunciation of both Kiev and Kyiv is equally far from both Russian and Ukrainian pronunciation.
Kiyev
If elected president, I will do nothing but push for a phonetic alphabet.

Your pronunciation examples confuse me greatly. "ah" from "alternative"? "eh" from "bad"? Certainly not in my accent.
Could be a Kiwi.
Have you heard them say "not bad"?
love going on anglo wickypedia and looking up a country, city, or non-anglo person from history
pronunciation guides are first in some anglo gibberish fo-NEY-ticks with big SHOU-ty letters and nonsensical spelling, for some weird anglo pronunciation, and then IPA for the [weird] anglo pronunciation, and then the pronunciation in local language
por ejemplo
Hexbear (US: HAYKZ-buhr [IPA: 'hejks,bษ:r]) (UK: HEKS-beh[IPA: 'heksbษถ:] ) (Marxist Standard: Hexbear [IPA: hรคx'bษหษพฬผ])
Are you sure that bad isn't baed and elephant isn't something else?
