albanians can pronunce and spell it whichever way they want, they at least live there and i am pretty sure they are aware that the word they are using is serbian. it is the pc police officers from western countries that puzzle me since to my mind they are going against their own principles. the dumbest form is coming from people who spell it "kosovo/a" since they probably think they are being neutral in that way and to my mind you are definitely not neutral when you say that a serbian and albanian pronunciation of a serbian word are equal and even more so since the serbian version of that serbian word has been a part of the english language for so long. i've met albanians from kosovo and they called it "kosovo", not "kosova" when speaking my language, so i really don't see what's the point.
you can support independence of kosovo, but there is no need to disrespect serbs and their language. after all, they are supposed to be a part of this multicultural paradise (you can just see so much love and tolerance on this site every day) and their contribution to this wonderful country would be that they gave it a name. and it's not like albanians have a completely different word for it (like, say, suomi/finland).
i am even pretty sure that albanians use "kosova" when speaking english more because the pc police officers from the west are doing that than because they themselves feel they need to.
