My brother isn’t a fool, but I am curious how many children especially in the Florida area will have to grow up being taught that it’s the Guld of America while their own parents think why? while most of the world and country looks at them like really?
So to not be a complete ass and prepare for the future, what do you guys think would be adviseable to both address such in person, teach your kids to address in person, and address it in a manner so a child is treating like discussionn, not a “clash” per say .
I have to acknowledge there may very well be a time when my niece/nephew were told by their teacher in school, there is no Gulf of Mexico
If you look at the gulf from basically any other countries location (via vpn or otherwise) it’s still named as Gulf Of Mexico in most map software.
As much as Trump doesn’t like the thought, this name change is not going to be permanent. Names need to be accepted universally, you can’t just take something and say “yea its called this now” while everyone else laughs at you and expect that it’s going to stay.
for perspective, this is what it looks like on google maps (top) and apple maps(bottom) while vpn’d into Toronto. (excuse my poor copy/paste skills) Both clearly show that the gulf of Mexico is named the gulf of Mexico, and then add in parenthesis the new name that the US wanted to implement.
