Associated Press in a time warp

According to this Yahoo! News report, the U.S. government will now be spelling the name of Ukraine's capital properly, i.e. Kyiv.

Meanwhile, the Associated Press continues to spell it "Kiev."

Real progressive of AP, eh?

Must be tough living in the past. After all, there was progress back then too...
