    Sorry Google. I don’t use any of your services at all, ever. It is the Gulf of Mexico and it will remain the Gulf of Mexico. just like fench fries are not freedom fries, they’re french fries and french toast is not Texas toast, it’s french toast. Google can take a long leap off of a very tall bridge.

    I trust that others will maintain proper naming conventions when publishing maps and not buckle under the pressure of a thin skinned toddler and his cult followers.
