[Dx4win] Hawai'i

[John Buck]

Hi Jim,

You had it right the first er second time.
The name of the State is Hawai'i.  The name of the Big Island is 
Hawai'i.  The name of the county is Hawai'i.  These are locations in the 
United States and the language is English.  Hawaii is commonly used but 
is not the correct name for any of the above.  The state maps and signs 
are gradually being changed.  I do not call this a part of the set of so 
called culturally sensitive issues.  The use of the word Hawaii without 
the glottal stop is just a mistake that is slowly being corrected.

It is too bad that some so called experts wish to continue with errors.

This reminds me that when the US renamed a famous area to honor Jack 
Northrop the founder of the Northrop Aircraft Corporation and father of 
the flying wing aircraft design.  They got it wrong and named it 
Northrup Field.  And kept it wrong on the maps.

Aloha,
