Hey since America is the center of the earth, we should change it to the Gulf of Central America!

Mexico's full name is ”The United States of Mexico", I think they should rename their map's version to Gulf of The United States just to add to the confusion and make the point these things, like all facts, are useless when people suffer no consequences from making them up.

Perfect naming, you have my vote!

Really, we could just call it the Gulf of the Americas. That would be perfectly correct in every way.

...but it's not in any way contiguous with south america; that would be the caribbean sea...

Hmmm, good point. The Caribbean Sea will now be known as the Sea of the Americas, lol. Idk, I was trying to unite everyone.
