Why do Spaniards have their lunch and dinner so late? @fledermaus I'm not saying it will determine the meal time to the second, but the position of the sun does influence human's natural scheduling, including meal times |

Why the name “Persian Gulf” has changed to “Arabian Gulf” or “The Gulf” in some of medias recently? You were referring to the text in Google Maps, and they certainly didn't change the name (the main name is still Persian Gulf), they just added another name that other people may recognize it with. Maybe in Arabic people tend to refer to it that way, I don't know. |

Why the name “Persian Gulf” has changed to “Arabian Gulf” or “The Gulf” in some of medias recently? What do you mean by "correct" name? Names of geographic places are normally determined by conventions or customs, there is no "historical evidence" needed. |
