Do you also take offence to the term "The South" being used in the US to refer to places which are not, in global terms, very far south?

- sandworm101 11y agoI wouldn't, but I expect many New Yorkers might take issue with being called southerners. And southerners might take issue with a "Hack the South" name on an event held in Vermont.
- stephengillie 11y agoYou're technically correct, but unfortunately being technically correct with names is still incorrect. I don't get it, but people don't like renaming things. And I agree that a name like "North Hack" or "CanHack" would be much more suitable. I would fully expect to make boilers at BoilerMake.
