I think Turkish factory style dentists accumulate something like 100 times more experience?
Dentists are usually booked well, how would that work? Is that vibe dentistry?
Pretty much what a western dentist charges for a handshake. So you get endless rows of teeth flying there.

I mean it matters here. "turkey" and "Turkey" legitimately have different meanings.
So does 'mark' and 'Mark', that doesn't mean I correct everyone (or myself) every time they/I type my name without using a capital letter.
Why is "turkey" lowercased? For that matter the country's official name is Türkiye as of 2022.
Turkiye is the endonym, not the exonym.

Has Germany said they should be called Deutschland by English speakers?
Is it a right of any nation to assert what other nations call it? Can America ask China to stop calling them 美国 (Měiguó) and call them the USA? The problem with the turkey rebranding is that it was a mere orthographic update, but it is using orthography that is very non standard(whatever that means for English), including using a diacritic rarely seen in English. I could get behind it more if they completely changed…
Big fan of Thanksgiving foods I see.
(Do you see the real problem? Lowercasing a proper noun that has another meaning when lowercased. Turkey/Türkiye is just the cherry on top)

Let's talk turkey, does it really matter?
Yes, casing matters. It carries meaning. It's the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse. This headline makes it sound like the IT systems of a cosmetic surgeon have been attacked by poultry.

Yes? The country is named Türkiye, we should use that name? The etymology here is interesting and has a looooong history. The country has officially been named Türkiye for over a century.

Exactly. "Earth" means the planet we live on and "earth" means soil. The disrespect of the meaning conveyed by not using the correct case is noxious and sloppy.
Why are so many people brainwashed to think baldness==bad? My hair really started to go down around 30 years old and am going to have to shave my head at some point, but who cares? Why does it matter?
