We having a very.....very raining and cold ❄️ weather in this part of Spain.

BTW: I am from The Hispaniola!!! Hahahaha How curious that you use that name .. Very colonialist name

Why is it a colonialist name Sade? Is that not the correct nomenclature for the island landmass?

It is totally correct too, what happens is that at some point in history (during the Haitian invasion in the Dominican Republic) the name was changed to Santo Domingo Island. Indeed the capital of DR is Santo Domingo as well, but also the entire island was named with the same name; Santo Domingo.

When Latinos, even Spanish from Spain (were I am) refer to the entire island, we usually say Santo Domingo, it is as if La Española were a vintage name.
