Learning to code? That's great. My main tip is don't learn on Python. I know you read Python is great, but don't learn on Python. I know people told you Python is easy, and it is, but don't learn on Python. Learning to code on Python will teach you to write bad code. Learn elsewhere, then Python.

Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. 

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.
