Rudee@lemmy.mlto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do Americanized names of places etc exist?1·3 months agoI think in this case, it’s the proper nouns that should be used. If we learned it as Zhōnghuá Rénmín Gònghèguò (or at least whichever part of that translates to “China”), it wouldn’t be too bad. There’s not much point in also using the Cantonese versions of “country”, “language”, etc., since most languages have their own analogue for these concepts

Rudee@lemmy.mlto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What are people from Moscow and Versailles called?3·3 months agoA demonym is a noun that specifically refers to a person from a particular location; you can’t use it as an adjective.
So in your second list, a school can’t be a Muscovite, since it isn’t a person. You could have met a Muscovite at the school in Moscow.

Because of this, the majority of software wouldn’t natively work on them. Apple has obviously developed versions of many programs that function on their laptops, and could extend the same treatment to the hypothetical desktop product. The other chip companies do not have this benefit, and would have to develop supported software from the ground up
