On: Largest island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island (2007)

Avoid these irritating semantics by insisting that "in a lake" be the final prepositional clause in any of these examples. We can all agree that a landmass surrounded by fresh water is an island, right? (And that lakes are uncontroversially fresh water by definition?)

As someone who grew up next to the Great Salt Lake, this is not uncontroversial!

Why is the gsl a lake and the Salton sea a sea

[Dylan16807 → grogenaut]

Salton Sea is a lake.

[grogenaut → Dylan16807]

So it's the Salton Sea Lake?

[Dylan16807 → grogenaut]

Plenty of lakes don't have "Lake" in the name.

Point.
