It shows “Lake Ontario” here in the UK, but “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)” as well. Not sure why there is a difference- certainly I’ve never heard anyone use the phrase in brackets in conversation.
Their government didnt change things. They chucked a hissy fit and made unfounded demands, Google decided to appease the crybabies rather than having an ounce of integrity.
