    There is a lot of people that speak english as a second or third language often they just don’t know correct english toponims or idioms, sometimes it’s just happens. English for a lot of people isn’t objective by itself just a means to an end.

    Thank you for detailed responce. For some people it might be just a habit, I’m sure most people aren’t against using equivalent names if they exist. Just never occured to me that it would be pretentious, for example until you mentioned that Praha is Prague in English it didn’t click with me.
