649 results for subject search on "America, Gulf of" in the catalogue of York University Libraries, in Toronto. Looking at the few print books in the results, the subject headings are sometimes confused. I don't know the mechanics of the MARC record updates, but it's really disappointing to see this at all in Canada.

#OpenStreetMap on tarkoitettu nimensä mukaisesti ensisijaisesti asutettujen alueiden karttapalveluksi, mutta nyt kun #BoycottUSA ynnä #BoycottGoogleMaps, kävinpä katsomassa, mitä se löytää #GulfofAmerica-haulla. Löytää Meksikonlahden. Tämä hyvä. Tukekaa. Vaihtakaa amerikkalaiset palvelut mieluusti eurooppalaisiin tai vähintään avoimiin.

In January, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order changing the name of the centuries-long Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. If you're in Mexico, Google Maps will display the area as the Gulf of Mexico, and if you're outside of the U.S. and Mexico, both names will appear. @restofworld explains how mapping companies carefully navigate geopolitical tensions over territories.

Trump calling on #MarjorieTaylorGreene's boyfriend to ask the first question (replacing the #AssociatedPress who, prior to being kicked out of the #WhiteHouse press core for refusing to cave to the #GulfOfAmerica nonsense, were the traditional first asker of presidential questions for decades) about how incredible Trump's poll numbers are (they're not, actually) is straight up third world dictator stuff.

Every single country in the Western Hemisphere is part of the Americas, named after an Italian explorer who figured out Columbus was a dumbass who didn't reach India. The United States of America just has the least original name in the hemisphere. Even the "United States" part belonged to Mexico first. When people here as if I'm Americano, I say "todos somos Americanos. Soy Estadounidense" It's fun to say, and uses every vowel. So there.
