    Cowards and sycophants. But this is a problem I, as a Chicagoan, am already familiar with. You see we have this building called the Willis Tower. But everyone here knows that Willis is correctly spelled “Sears.”

    So you see, the correct spelling of the America in the context of the Gulf is “Mexico.”

      Huh, I didn’t know the Sears Tower was renamed to Willis. Though the Sears Tower never comes up in conversations for me, I’ll surely only ever know it as Sears. So yeah, that’s a great point you make
