Myanmar v. Burma

Yes, which name will the press choose?

The BBC stays with the traditional Burma.

The Economist says Myanmar.

The Guardian STARTED with Myanmar, but is now switching to the trend of using Burma.

Why not MURMA? Byanmur? Ryanair? Murlingus?

Anyway, whatever the place is called, that's some ANGRY monks they've got out there.
