Americans: what do you call the "Mar Cantábrico"?

Post by Art »

Terechu has pointed out in a post that on English maps for "Mar Cantábrica" is called "the Bay of Biscay".

Language is a living thing, which changes in different communities and different times and places.

Let's find out what the Americans of Asturian descent call it in English.

Note: Only native English speakers should participate for the results to be worth anything.

When I returned to this page, I didn't see the poll. If you have the same experience, it's still here, but it may be above the first post, so you have to scroll up to see the poll.

Also, if you see just a poll, no results, that simply means that you haven't voted yet. Evidently you aren't allowed to see the results until after you vote.

So, for those are aren't native English-speakers, allow me to report on the results as of January 24, 2004:

Cuando regresé a este página, no veia la encuesta. Si tienes la misma experiencia, todavía esta, pero puedo ser más encima de la primera mensaje, entonces hay que hacer avanzar el texto que aparece en pantalla para ver la encuesta.

También, si veas solamente una encuesta, sin resultados, significa que aún no has votado. Aparentemente, no se permite ver los resultados hasta que termines de votar.

Pues, para los que no hablan inglés como nativos, os presento un informe sobre los resultados desde el 24 de enero de 2004:
