No one is going to call it that except in the same way "freedom fries" was used. People unfamiliar with the actual name might eventually use "gulf of America" if the maps continue to show it, but right now most of us know the original name and will use it out of habit, if nothing else
Lots of people used freedom fries. Most importantly, though, I distinctly remember it appearing on our school lunch menus. I lived in a very blue-tinged purple town at the time.
Which means, I suspect, that schools will be forced to use the new name.
Really? I haven't heard that outside of a joke since like 2007. Good point about schools though :(
I meant to say "used". Slight typo.
