using the old name has become a political marker in minnesota. libs obediently try to use the new nonsense name, while everyone else simply says 'Calhoun,' which enrages libs.
if you're ever dealing with a minnesotan lib, use 'Lake Calhoun' obtrusively and abrasively as often as possible. because it's funny. |

notice how "fewer syllables wins" is the overarching rule, easier to spell too. |
