A comment on Why Mercator for the Web?. Parent comment
That is vanishingly unlikely. These are projections you have practically certainly seen: https://www.mapthematics.com/ProjectionsList.php?Projection=... https://www.mapthematics.com/ProjectionsList.php?Projection=... https://www.mapthematics.com/ProjectionsList.php?Projection=... https://www.mapthematics.com/ProjectionsList.php?Projection=...
And many others. Also, people often mistake any rectangular projection for Mercator. I have even seen this happen in academic literature.
