Google maps on Android shows "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)".
Mine just shows Gulf of America. :-(
Google Maps right now:
Hot take, but I'd actually be fine with the US calling it the Gulf of the Americas since it is a shared gulf by north and south America. There are examples like the south China Sea and the Persian Gulf that have different names depending on what country you are in. But calling it the Gulf of America is just dumb.
That opens another can of worms, since the continent is called America, and the country that appropriated it is The United States of America. Calling the continent “Americas” implies that USA is the original America.
As recent as the 80s it was still called America by everyone except USA and some countries of Europe.

I honestly don’t give a shit, and wish less attention was given to inconsequential nonsense like this.
Trump and co are doing things far more destructive than this.

Starting a petition to have places renamed for Canadians.
No longer the USA, it shall be called the 4th Canadian territory: south central Canada
The arctic shall be named: Suckitputin
Greenland shall be named: Greenland (suckitmagats)
Is this a fucking joke
Par for course
