Fair point! [1]

- §4.b.
As such, within 30 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of the Interior shall, consistent with 43 U.S.C. 364 through 364f, take all appropriate actions to rename as the “Gulf of America” the U.S. Continental Shelf area bounded on the northeast, north, and northwest by the States of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida and extending to the seaward boundary with Mexico and Cuba in the area formerly named as the Gulf of Mexico. […]
- The executive order states that 30 days from the date the order was signed, or perhaps 30 days from the date it was published, The Gulf of Mexico will be renamed to “The Gulf of America”. This will either happen on 2025-02-19 (at the earliest), or 2025-03-02 (at the latest).

[…] I think OSM shouldn’t just go out and follow every random suggestion any politician makes. […]
I think there’s some use in including a countries official names for specific features, in some way. I’m not saying that the primary name should be that, but it’s at least a name that is known and conceivably could be searched.
[…] Let’s wait until anything actually changes officially […]
Hm, I would argue that there is no such thing as “officially” in regards to OpenStreetMap. Or are you referring to the name “Gulf of America” changing officially in the USA?
[…] Let’s wait until anything actually changes officially before we start going with some wild claim
I wasn’t claiming anything — or, perhaps I misunderstand what you mean? Would you mind clarifying?
Oh, yeah — I wasn’t inferring that any one of those is the appropriate tag for this purpose; I was just mentioning that there are methods for tagging alternate names depending on the context, and that, perhaps, something similar could be done for this purpose (which, imo, it seems is main topic of discussion in the linked forum post).
Do note that there are commonly used methods in OSM to add local names [1.1], alternate names [1.2], language specific names [1.2], etc [1].

[…] the link in the post body goes to a “page doesn’t exist or has been deleted” message because of the period at the end […]
Ah! Interesting! That’s good to know. I didn’t consider that some Lemmy apps or browser UI’s might not format the Markdown how I’ve been expecting. The correct CommonMark Markdown syntax for plain text links is to do
<uri-inside-angle-brackets>[1]; I’ll change the URL in the post’s body to that format to improve support. Thanks for letting me know! 😊References

Autolinks are absolute URIs and email addresses inside

<, followed by an absolute URI followed by. It is parsed as a link to the URI, with the URI as the link’s label.An absolute URI, for these purposes, consists of a scheme followed by a colon (
:) followed by zero or more characters other than ASCII control characters, space,<, and. If the URI includes these characters, they must be percent-encoded (e.g.%20for a space).For purposes of this spec, a scheme is any sequence of 2–32 characters beginning with an ASCII letter and followed by any combination of ASCII letters, digits, or the symbols plus (“+”), period (“.”), or hyphen (“-”).

Looks like the thread is gone now […]
Hrm, I can still see it.
What specific features are you looking for?
[…] Which is why I’ll also assert that Literature classes as taught in later high school and into college aren’t really designed to be communication proficiency classes but art appreciation classes. […]
I think this is a fair point to make. I agree. Though, I would like to point out that that isn’t me downplaying “art appreciation”, but I agree that it is different than a subject targeted at improving clear communication.

[…] I recommend recurring training.
For clarity, do you mean, for example, being required to re-pass a drivers test to renew one’s license?
Instead of adding it to a mandatory school curriculum, would you be satisfied with a more strict licensing process?
More what I’m getting at, regardless of language used in Shakespeare is whether you think Shakespeare, as a whole, is obsolete. So, iiuc, you aren’t saying that you think that Shakespeare, as a whole, is obsolete, but that that the language used within it is, which makes it difficult to read?
[…] I propose that teaching Shakespeare instead of more in depth driver’s ed isn’t entirely ethical. […]
I think you misunderstood me. To be completely fair, I was rather vague. I wasn’t arguing that one was more ethical than the other. My argument about ethics was from the perspective of further subsidizing something that already receives enormous subsidies — ie driving and cars (this is conjecture at the moment, but I can go into more detail if you’d like).
[…] If they get something wrong behind the wheel of a car, what’s the worst that can happen? […]
Out of curiosity, do you live in an area that doesn’t require a driver’s license in order to be legally allowed to drive on a public road?
