Discussing the renaming of "The Gulf of Mexico" to "The Gulf of America"
Why? There are commisions for that. E.g. the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names, the United States Board on Geographic Names or the Permanent Committee on Geographical Names. Just follow the lead of one of these. There is no need to further complicate stuff.
What the hell is “the ground rule”? Naming is artificially defining things and as that basically arbitrary.
@menemen “on the ground rule”, it means you go there and see what it's being called there. We don't just follow diktats from one office.
Yeah lemme just get on a boat in the Gulf and look for signs showing its name
FOSSGIS @amapanda@en.osm.town@Xavienth you'll find the signs on the land.
Which piece of land do you trust? Plenty of countries lie along the Gulf.
