Or should it be changed to Yeatville?
I ask this question in the wake of the deadly cyclonic disaster in Myanmar. Err, Burma. Err, Myanmar.
The United States and the United Kingdom call the Indian subcontinental nation Burma, despite the United Nations’ name of Myanmar. BBC News delved into the colloquialism last fall.
So.
What about Newburyport? Anyone want to call it something else, and it can be known by two names?
On a serious note, I hope everyone in Burma/Myanmar gets the help they deserve.
