Even this wasn't found great by the comments, but it's better than "whatever Trump says".
By saying "common", we mean to include names which are in widespread daily use, rather than giving immediate recognition to any arbitrary governmental re-naming
That policy is surprisingly on point.
So that means they're gonna put some bullshit name on it here in Canada? What the hell.
"In other words, if a ruler announced that henceforth the Pacific Ocean would be named after her mother, we would not add that placemark unless and until the name came into common usage."
Uh-huh.
