    Did the media always spell it Zelenskyy? Lol double y just makes me read it like "exactlyyy". Like why does his name need vocal fry?

      I know there are bigger Russia-Ukraine issues but I really hate how after more than 2 years the media still can't agree on how to spell his fucking name.

      Can't they just ask him the preferred Anglicized spelling and settle it already?

      Ukranian language don't have unified romanisation scheme or if it have, it's ignored by latin alphabet users, i seen wild spelling versions. Hell even such simple name like Oleg i seen in a least 3 different versions in official papers issued by Polish institutions.
