        Better add in the I for international waters.

        Gulf of I.C.U.M.

    Who’s: a contraction for “who is”.

    Whose: belonging to whom.

      I’m embarrassed I made that mistake. I absolutely know better. Thanks for the correction.

        Now I wish I’d sent a DM instead. No need to embarrass you in public, oops. Oh well, next correction I’ll be more discreet.

          No worries! Your correction was appropriate. I think the edit just took a while to sync across instances. I was embarrassed because I take pride in my writing. It could have been between us, or broadcast globally, and I’d have felt the same.

          Thanks for the consideration. Have a good night!

    This is just distraction politics. Easy to talk about and have an opinion on, while completely dismantling the country with the other hand.

    And if you measure it in miles of coastline…

    Mexico - 1,743 miles.
    US - 1,680 miles.

    https://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/2025/02/12/us-google-change-gulf-of-mexico-to-gulf-of-america-after-trump-executive-order/78461485007/

    Other sites round up the US portion to an even 1,700, which is STILL short(!)

      Does this fully take into account Louisiana? I feel like those river deltas and swamplands add up to a massive amount of what could be considered coastline.

        Could be part of the “rounding up”, same for the Florida Keys.

    The text of the EO actually only orders renaming of the portion of the gulf that is shown as the American EEZ on that map.

    But, much like with everything else in society, the companies who bent over backwards renaming as fast as possible were too dumb to read the actual assignment and / or instead just wanted to gargle the ring.

    I dunno, but google removed the ability to suggest edits when I looked last.

    So I suggested a correction for mar a lago. It should be Turd-o-Lardo

        Well no I can’t because I don’t have that spyware on my phone.

        And you shouldn’t either.

        Edit to clarify, the website has a different interface.

            Bro.

            Read what I said and you’d realize I don’t need your totally unsolicited advice.

            In order to make it clear: in order to suggest a change to mar a lago, I’d have to know how to do that.

    The Gulf of the Americas?

    Maybe it should have corporate sponsorship like football stadiums.

    if you really wanted to be like this needs renaming, why the fuck didnt you go with “The Gulf of the Americas” not that it touches both north and south. But Gulf of North America doesnt have a nice sound to it
