I was born in New Jersey. We went to the shore, or seashore, every summer. After leaving NJ and moving to CT, it became the beach. Now on the Cape, it's either the ocean (Nantucket Bay) or the bay (Cape Cod Bay), because they are very different.
We generally say "going to the beach" in Southern California. Northern California has a more rocky shoreline, so people say "going to the coast" sometimes. However, restaurants that serve fish are known as seafood restaurants throughout the state.
Good pickup!
That’s a coincidence…..51% is the number of the UK population who voted to come out of the EU. I’m not really being fair as they are not all stupid….sadly just a little gullible perhaps.
Then how come every time a Scot pops up in a British murder mystery, my wife and I have to back up and turn on the English subtitles to figure out what the heck he's saying?
Yes, Poland is one of the few countries that mine for the rock salt. The Wieliczka Salt Mine (near Cracow) is a must to see! Especially impressive are halls, churches and sculptures and even chandeliers made of rock salt!
Jeremy, "the sea" is an English word. My point was an American automatically thinks of any bigger body of brine as "an ocean". Why does the Specialized user manual even mention corrosion near to the sea as caused by an ocean?
