    So then in 4 years if a dem gets elected everything gets changed back… then a few years later if a rep gets elected…flipflop forever?

      Reread what you replied to. He wants it to be called the same thing it has always been called and what the rest of the world calls it. No president should be able to arbitrarily rename shit every 4 years. It dissolves the utility of giving things names.

        I agree and it wasn’t a reply, just a thought that it could technically flip back and forth…ridiculously. which is very sad. It will always be gulf of Mexico and denali to me.
