A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
They translated "west", but not "new".
In Italian we said Nuova York until, let's say, the sixties. Virginia Occidentale is quite uncommon too, I have to say. It's more common simply West Virginia.
People used to translate more than today
translation of names can get pretty arbitrary. eg, which "new"-s would you translate among these: new york, new zealand, new hampshire, newfoundland?
Right? This map is so weird.
