‘In the nation of Deutchland (once called Germany)’

I know journalists don't know much, and much of what they do “know” is wrong, but can't they get it through their thick skulls that Mumbai and Bombay are the same word with different pronunciations. There was no ‘and now we will call it Mumbai’ point in history. It was always Mumbai, and Englishmen preferred to spell it and pronounce it Bombay.
