Google in 2008:
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. 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.
Pretty much. While I wouldn’t say that I’m obsessed, I would greatly appreciate it if usage increased. I wish open source software was the norm.
This is very common (compared to the rest of the population) amongst Linux users. Some people therefore feel the need to spread awareness.
