"It's Pronounced KEEV... why?"

Published: Feb. 28, 2022, 11:11 p.m.

Imagine for a second, if suddenly you learned South Jordan is actually pronounced "South Jhordann."  Or that West Valley is actually "West Vallay."
That’s what it’s like for newspeople in almost every city that becomes a global hotspot.


For instance, during the Gulf War the country Jeff's geography teacher called Qatar  became "Cutter."  During the olympics, he learned that the city his World Geography teacher called Peking… with a P… is not Beijing with a B… But actually Bei-Jing with a hard “J” - Beijing.  


And now… we have the city that I’ve always known as Kiev.
