Two oceans?
Arctic, Atlantic, Indian and Pacific it makes four.
Are English oceans different of the frensh ones? 
It makes too much things different
 
and there are thousands of seas! 
Any salted water that is not an ocean is a sea, no?
If it's not please tell me... there are so much definitions
that are diferent in languages.
 
About America, if we say North-America, South America, and 
Central-America, it's because they are the North and the South
of something: America.
When Colomb disovered America it was in the region of Cuba and in
South-America...

Hey, who said anything about non-arbitrary? I was operating well within the realm of the completely arbitrary traditional nomenclature. Seven continents, seven seas, two oceans, etc. :) -Marcos [greypixel.gif]
