Re: the spellings of our capitals

Dear Editor:

With regard to The Ukrainian Weekly’s recent editorial “It’s K-Y-I-V” (October 27), I look forward to reading a reciprocal editorial soon in a Ukrainian newspaper titled “It’s Washeengton (Вашінґтон), not Washynhton (Вашингтон).”

The Russian prism refracts in two directions.

EDITOR’S NOTE: For the record, Svoboda, our Ukrainian-language sister publication, renders the name of the U.S. capital as ,,Вашінґтон”.
