      I had real trouble understanding why “The Great Lakes,” weren’t called The American Seas until I found out that Seas were large salt water bodies that aren’t large enough to qualify as Oceans. Some more arbitrary bullshit as far as I was concerned.

      And I mean The Superior Sea, The Huron Sea, The Michigan Sea, The Erie Sea, and The Ontario Sea.
