I can't understand would it even have the part in parentheses in Europe. Think how silly it would look if every location had the regional name for every nearby country added in parentheses after the primary global name. It would be a mess.
Eg:
Germany (Deutschland, Allemagne, Niemcy, Germania, Saksa, )
Feels to me like special rules Apple has to stroke special fascist egos.
But maybe its not Apple and this is a name set by your local governance. You mind if I ask what country Apple maps you're looking at?
Hi, I'm in France but sorry my comment was for Google Maps, not Apple maps, my bad!
Yeah, the company that donated one million dollar to a mfer that promised nothing but fascism is not fascist...
"harass them mercilessly"
Wow, that's your response to something you don't agree with? Harass them?
Username checks out.
Beg your pardon, but the Gulf of America has officially transitioned and if you continue calling it the Gulf of Mexico, you're deadnaming it.
