NOAA forecasts an average summer 'dead zone' in Gulf of America

I find the verbage of "average sized dead zone" to be an interesting gauge of how normalized environmental destruction is becoming. As if a massive section of hypoxic oceaniss to be expected.
The Gulf of Mexico?
I just pulled the title from the headline, but I've made the change because you're right. It shouldn't be normalized.
I'm just being irritable. Every time I see that stupid name change it irritate angers me, and I feel obligated to correct it.
It's not you; it's my pet peeve.
And, technically, every country is allowed to use their own names for anything, so the US can change what the US calls it. We could call Israel "Genociderland" if we wanted to, and news outlets would have to use it. I just object to the change.
