A bulletin from the Board on Geographic Names outlines a systematic approach to standardizing geographic spellings to reflect pronunciation. It cites examples such as Behring to Bering and Chili to Chile, notes English usage quirks, and compares with Royal Geographical Society rules while preserving familiar long-used forms.
