It's silly, but I like the proper 臺灣 better than the lazy version 台灣. It looks more sophisticated and is more official. I vote for the title of the community to have the lazy 台 replaced with the beautiful 臺. Anyone else in? Much love.

Edit: spelling

Give you some perspective, the Taiwanese almost always writes 台 because it's easier to write, even the news writes like that. However, 臺 is the official letter to write. If you refer to any of the official documents from the government. It's always 臺灣.

In reality, most Taiwanese does not care.
