Why is Kolkata spelt wrongly in this category?

Question

The old British spelling is Calcutta; the new and correct spelling would be Kolkata. Is there any way to fix it? Thanks.

Answer 1

they don't know their Calcutta from Kolkata, obviously.

But i am sure all understand what it means, so we have to let them go..

Answer 2

While the city's name was always pronounced "Kolkata" in the local Bengali language, its official English name was  changed from "Calcutta" to "Kolkata" in 2001, reflecting the Bengali pronunciation.

Answer 3
