Where do they get off standardizing spelling of a name in an utterly incomprehensible way? You are SO RIGHT that non-Roman names should be spelled in English using definitive, not exceptional, English rules if they are to be pronounced and comprehended in English. Momar Cadafie and Elcaida work for me. And, for the life of me I could not identify the Weegers I was hearing about on NPR with the Uighhurs on the TV.
