Iwo Jima is no more

Sulpher Island is once again its native name, Iwo To. Ah, such stumbling blocks. Films need to be renamed, like the The Sands of Sulpher; new issues like A To Hold to Victory.
Hmmn, Lone Ranger, did TonTo have a dad or brother named Iwo?
::) :)

Point taken, of course.  For the US psyche, however, the island of "Iwo To"  will remain "Iwo Jima".

MAybe one of these days there will be a movement to correct the injustice of naming two continents after a cartographer that, not given adequate instructions, apparently named the continents after himself.
