We've had that before. From what I understand, what the people from Macedonia like to call their language is just that, and that to me is the only justification needed. This is not a UN publication nor is it a politcal correctness contest, and if I were to make a Klingon translation, I wouldn't insist on the term "Klingon Empire" just because somebody national pride may be insulted by "Klingon". Same goes for Taiwan, Tibet, Cataluña, Kosovo and the Mars Colonies. ~Mik -- Well when _I_ was in school, I had to run Netscape on HP/UX, displayed on my local X Server running on a Windows 3.1 box.
