Maybe they're not as craven as the guys at Google.

 
They got it right now today.  Gulf of America

 
You are one of these mentally handicapped Red Necks:
 
Many who write follow AP style
 
Users of the Google map app in the United States will now see the body
of water referred to as the Gulf of America, the company said. Mexican
users would see “Gulf of Mexico.” Elsewhere in the world, Google
identifies it as “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America).”
 
But the AP’s decision is influential because many news outlets and other
organizations use it as an arbiter of how to consistently refer to things.
 
Some larger outlets have their own rules.
 
—The New York Times said it would continue to use Gulf of Mexico, while
noting Trump’s renaming in stories that discuss that issue. The gulf,
which borders Mexico and Cuba as well as the United States, has been
known as the Gulf of Mexico for more than 400 years.
 
—The Washington Post also said it would use Gulf of Mexico in most
references because it “is not solely within the United States’
jurisdiction and the name of Gulf of America might confuse global readers.”
 
*LOL*
