Wow this is dumb. Do these people realize that the same places have different names in different languages? Don't Mexicans speak Spanish? Can't it still be called 'Gulf of Mexico' in Spanish and 'Gulf of America' in English?
For example, Germany is called Deutschland in German... Yet you don't see Germans demanding that we rename Germany to Dutchland to make it more consistent... They don't have jurisdiction over the English language.
I was also confused when Turkey made everyone rename it to Türkiye... I understand that they don't want to be confused for the Turkey bird but that 'u' letter with 2 dots doesn't even exist in English. WTF?
You look at Google maps and all the countries use English letters except one; Türkiye. WTF? Seems like English language is being appropriated.
