Do any of the many countries that touch the Indian Ocean get all pissy over the name like Koreans do with the Sea of Japan? Pakistan perhaps?
Just wondering. |

Tangentially related, the Iranians and the Arab countries around 'The Gulf' have squabbled for decades over whether 'The Gulf' is 'The Persian Gulf' or 'The Arabian Gulf'. As a result, most American media simply call it 'The Gulf'. I humbly submit that it be called 'The Ya-ta Boy Gulf' and be done with it. |

The "Republic of China" can get pretty pissy sometimes. I asked a Taiwanese guy once if he was Chinese (because he was talking a lot about Chinese politics) and he still hasn't forgiven me, a year later. |

Don't forget about the Gulf of Mexico and the East China Sea. |
