      or remove another google product from your life, I just did, don't know how the alternatives will be, but I am willing to endure an inferior product at this point

    Apple Maps shows the correct name.

    I can't tell if this is more embarrassing for Google or for the government.

      President Grandpa Simpson is an embarrassment that America will never recover from.

    Isn't Ontario a province? So shouldn't it be like Lake ...uh New York?

    • avaer 10 hours ago ago

      Ontario is an aboriginal name for the lake, which the province pays homage to.

      All of this is silly, but with this pattern it makes more sense to change the name of New York than to call it Lake New York.

      The province of Ontario is named after the lake, not the other way around.

        I guess Ontario needs to be renamed to America now ...

    I liked when the ukraine war conflict kicked off and suddenly AP and NPR started calling it "Keev" instead of "Kiev"

    • stoobs 9 hours ago ago

      That's because it's the Ukrainian name for the capital, Kiev was the old soviet one.

    Suggested a Google Maps edit from Googleplex to "Trumps Cuckhold house"
