Isn't Ontario a province? So shouldn't it be like Lake ...uh New York?
tavavex
The province of Ontario is named after the lake, not the other way around.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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