It’s been more than a year since I last posted about the “Gulf of America” nonsense, but here’s something new to share: a video from World Maps Online in which Paul explains why his maps still call it the Gulf of Mexico—patiently, to online commenters who are giving him grief about it—as well as the long history of bodies of water having different names depending on who’s doing the naming. For all the political charge of this topic, it’s an effective explainer that goes out of its way to shed far more light than heat.
