come on, but that's totally besides the point of the argument rob was making.
if you wanna get on with the erudition, in spanish "porto" is the first person singular present indicative of "portar" (to bear, to carry, as in the english word "portage"). so the word "exists" in spanish without giving the island a portuguese-looking name.
but that's still besides the point, right? because "porto rico" still makes no sense for puerto rico.
rob is refuting tesla's manifest destiny bullshit and let's not distract from that. "liberated" from a genocidal monarchy! (because usa freedom & democracy never "genocided" anyone.)
