    Whose: belonging to whom.

          No worries! Your correction was appropriate. I think the edit just took a while to sync across instances. I was embarrassed because I take pride in my writing. It could have been between us, or broadcast globally, and I’d have felt the same.

          Thanks for the consideration. Have a good night!

    And if you measure it in miles of coastline…

    Mexico - 1,743 miles.
    US - 1,680 miles.

    Other sites round up the US portion to an even 1,700, which is STILL short(!)

      Does this fully take into account Louisiana? I feel like those river deltas and swamplands add up to a massive amount of what could be considered coastline.

    The text of the EO actually only orders renaming of the portion of the gulf that is shown as the American EEZ on that map.

    But, much like with everything else in society, the companies who bent over backwards renaming as fast as possible were too dumb to read the actual assignment and / or instead just wanted to gargle the ring.

      I doubt Donald Trump read the EO either. And those companies know this, and they know he’s a small and petty man.

      This whole thing doesn’t matter much, it just makes the US looks stupid. It’s not the job of these companies to oppose the guy Americans voted for even when he’s making the country look stupid. It was the duty of American citizens to vote wisely to prevent guys like Trump from having power, but that didn’t happen, so here we are.

    I dunno, but google removed the ability to suggest edits when I looked last.

    So I suggested a correction for mar a lago. It should be Turd-o-Lardo

        Well no I can’t because I don’t have that spyware on my phone.

        And you shouldn’t either.

            Bro.

            Read what I said and you’d realize I don’t need your totally unsolicited advice.

            In order to make it clear: in order to suggest a change to mar a lago, I’d have to know how to do that.
