People think they have their back (because OSM is showing Lake Ontario), but it's just marketing.

I think people are more going on the "name it what you want" pages doing the rounds on socials, created originally for the Gulf of Mexico and now Lake Ontario, which a lot of people have seen, rather than the name presented by MapQuest's regular map which I don't think many people see.
They forgot to scoop up mapbalst!
never mind looks like they got swallowed up by bing maps (that’s where Bing got line drive from, TIL!)
