To the first part of your reply. I understand that Elon changed the name of both the company and the website, with a redirect of the former website. Is that not the case?

I am surprised how much time I am spending on the twitter/X thing.

As for the lake, I didn't have an issue with it. The local community, that has naming rights, decided to change the name to better reflect their community and values. The new name is not mean or disrespectful. Maps will take a bit to update, but the lake name won't be the only thing to change.

If you respond, what do you think of the flag?

Edit: I tested and X.com redirects to Twitter.com. So that is stupid.

Personally, I struggled with the new name for the lake. I couldn't figure out how to pronounce it at first. Nothing in school prepared me for how to read "Bde", and I definitely wouldn't have expected it to rhyme with "g'day".

I don't particularly care for the new flag design, but I suspect I'll get used to it. I'm not entirely clear on the motivation behind redesigning the flag in the first place, tbh.

Good points. I heard it on the radio a bunch, which makes it easier. Maybe radio versus print impacts acceptance?

I think several of the finalists were better than the final, but all are better than the current. I will also get used to it. (Anyone reading this, look under "History" section on Wikipedia for the finalists.)
