They can call it whatever they like, it will always be the Gulf of Mexico for me. On the other hand I know of a place I will call Maharón-a-Lago from now on.
Ah, I thought you were referring to the placement of the US on the centre of a physical paper map, such as we used to have in classrooms and books, rather than the coordinate system.
As far as I know the US still uses the same system for coordinates, it’s how they remember to stay south of the 49.
Yes, in fact if I use the english version from Austria, I see the German name (Golf von Mexico) instead of the English one (Gulf of Mexico) while all other names are still in English. It's kinda funny actually.
Wasn't the Sea of Korea renamed the Sea of Japan because an American cartographer in post-war Japan got the name from some Japanese guy in the office and it stuck?
