That's nice and irrelevant.

Why? Who cares? These are *words*. Get over it.

In my native language, there is a language called Assamese, and another 
language called Bengali. Both of these are written in a script which in my 
native language has been called Bengali for a very, very long time. I think it 
is really very impolite of you to complain about what my native language calls 
things.

No. It is a noble and beautiful language with literature and poetry. And it is 
written in a script which in my native language is called Bengali. 

English too is a noble and beautiful language with literature and poetry. And 
it is written in a script which in my native language is called Latin. 

And I don't complain about it.
