I suppose it could have been worse. Dotard Trump could have renamed the Gulf of Mexico after himself.
What the Gulf of Mexico should actually be called with Russian assets Trump and Musk taking away rights, freedoms and much needed programs from all Americans including those who thought wearing a MAGA hat made them exempt.

I've received several inquiries about purchasing prints of my photographs. Since photography is a hobby for me, I wasn't initially set up to accommodate these requests. However, I truly enjoy what I do and want to share my work with you.
To make this possible, I've created an account and website on Pixels. You can visit it here:
https://swede1952-photographs.pixels.com
If you're interested in a print of one of my photos, you can find it there. If a specific photo isn’t available yet, let me know which one you'd like, and I’ll happily upload it for you!

@georgetakei TL;DR: rename the Gulf of Mexico yourself at https://gulfof.mapquest.com/
So, Google? You want to play this game and obey fascist Trump? Let's play together ;-)

Thanks. Like Speedy, I’ve been scooting around south of the border. I happened to splash along the beach in the #gulf_of_mexico <wink>
John, I noticed your instance is based in Canada. I’ll bet your ISP is Canadian, too. If you have access to US-based ISP, try the same thing.
I noticed an error on Apple Maps today. I called Apple Support for my iPad and Apple Maps. I told the customer service engineer that according to the International Hydrographic Organization, the correct name is “Gulf of Mexico”. She had me check Maps on my iPhone (I verified the change), added my notes to her call report, and asked that I register my complaint on apple.com/feedback. I did that, too.
So should you!
GOOGLE HAD OBEY IN ADVANCE. BUT AP DIDN'T. AND NOW THIS. FUCK THIS GUY.

Gulf of Mexico is the one deadname you're allowed to use.
It seems that Google Maps is starting to mislabel the Gulf of Mexico, while Bing(Microsoft) Maps has the correct labeling.

I see `Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)` at Google maps.
Maps from Bing(Microsoft) has only `Gulf of Mexico` though!
