It will always be Burma to us

RE: Columnist wrong to call Myanamar Burma (April 27)

-

While I mostly agree with the second half of Charlene Bernhardt’s letter, I object to the first part. My maternal grandparen­ts, parents, eldest brother and two sisters all have birth certificat­es stating place of birth Rangoon Burma, not Yangon Myanmar. To all of us growing up with it being called Burma, it will always be Burma! Stephen Carroll, Hamilton
