Encyclopedia Brittanica

[Lemon Drop]

"Encyclopedia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:

-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.

-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

-It has been called the ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for more than 425 years.

I am issuing a personal executive order to rename Mar-a-Lago to The Berghof.
I expect the entire earth to obey this order forthwith.

I like the “Great Antillean Gulf.”

It has gravitas.

And while we’re renaming stuff, I’m tired of confusing Disney World and Disney Land. It’s “Disney Florida” and “Disney California” moving forward.

I thought those are DeathSantis Disney and NewAwesome Disney.
