That's an interesting twist to this story. "MUCTC" was an official English name for the company back when its French equivalent was CTCUM. When they switched to STCUM and STM there was no English version.

Now, the Gazette and CJAD use MTC, while younger anglophone media use STM.

Most importantly, the STM itself uses STM in all English communication.

CJAD, Gaz, etc, basically everybody in the English media calls it the MTC, descended from the MUCTC.

You stated the key phrase of the whole article:

"Stop playing Language God."

So I put it to YOU, same goes for you! Stop playing Language God.

You have a point, but even the people who work at the STM call it the MTC when speaking in English!
