    It’s not like historical figures are always referred to by their proper names. How many English speakers talk about Cristóbal Colón or pronounce Julius Caesar as [ˈkae̯.sar].

      I get you.

      But if people out there are willing to give their lives up for a person from a couple thousand years ago, you’d think they might know how to properly spell the person’s name.

      Not like he’s gonna come back to life, get real.
