   98 Note: When possible, geographical names try to reflect the common modern
   99 English names of the cities, not the local one. If a local spelling differs
  100 from the English spelling only by using a different form of the same Latin
  101 letter, the modified letter is used. This is according to R M Ritter, *The Oxford Guide
  102 to Style*, Oxford University Press, 2002.
