The fact that all of Florida isn't a peninsula supports my claim. When people talk about man-made regions, they do not include the actual geographical make up. If the weather man said "Hurrican Eske is attacking the entire peninsula of Florida", people will register that as the entire state of Florida and not only the parts that are technically considered part of the peninsula.

If the weather man said "Hurrican Eske is attacking the entire peninsula of Florida", but the north edge of the effects of the storm stopped at Orlando, he'd be wrong.

Do you understand why?



ALSO:
Try as I might, I can't get this statement to make sense.

So...if someone talk about Manhattan they never mention that it's an island??

Is this thread about gays yet?

I thought I felt something gay in here, but it may have just been resonance from the word "peninsula"

No, because North Korea isn't a peninsula.



Kazakhstan isn't surrounded by water, so no it is not practical for land mass to be made up of an infinite number of peninsuli and I don't even think it is theoretically either. Besides, you proved my point by stating that not all of Florida is a peninsula. That is a much better example than using Mississippi.



It's just like the weather man example I just used. When people say the Florida Peninsula, I think it is safe that most people are thinking the entire state as opposed to the parts that are actually part of the peninsula. If you live in Florida, you might make that distinction, but for everyone else, it's one state.

Or another example, cities that are in two separate states such as Memphis. When people say "where is Memphis?" They say Tennessee. Technically, Memphis is in Tennessee and in Arkansas.

Or another example, islands. People say that Japan and Hawaii are islands. That's wrong, they are technically groups of islands. The actual geography matters less in reference to man-made regions.

------------------------------------------------
I concede.

As I said before, this isn't my terminology that I created. This what people who live in Korea say. I'll stick with that terminology, where South Korea is a peninsula and the Korean Peninsula is the composition of the two countries. If it bothers you so much that a country that is surrounded by water on three boarders is called a peninsula, then that sounds like a personal problem to me.

sure...

After reading this thread, I have decided I want Tennessee to be an island. Can I do that?

I'm going back to TN this Christmas... I'll stop by and say "hello".

All this talk of peninsulas within peninsulas makes me think of Fighter and his dual-wielding swordchucks. Perhaps we've uncovered Alma's true identity? Would explain a lot. <_<

Now if only we could get Black Mage to post.

Nothing says "I love you" like a punch to the face.

No I don't think you can, slapping and thrusting work though.

C'ock punches are a bit over-rated, if not cool to witness. Personally I've always found it more effective to grip it and beat the partner severely about the head, neck and face. This won't work with a small *****.
