I can, but it’s unreasonable. It should have become burocrat long ago. This would also cause less confusion, since it would separate the buro office from the furniture bureau. See, “Tri-boro bridge” as an attempt to similarly change “borough” to “boro.”

Well ...

I disagree. A bureau is both an office, and a desk with drawers in said office ... typically a government office.

However ...

I could go along with spelling it “burro-crat” ...
