This thread has been opened in case Faith wants to pursue her position that the Gulf of Mexico is not a sea.
"Sea" is a rather vague term - is it not?
Sort of a synonym for "ocean?"
In that case... all gulfs would be seas.
But not all seas would be gulfs.
I suppose that, literally, I wouldn't say "the Gulf of Mexico is a sea" - but I would say "the Gulf of Mexico is part of the sea?"
However, standing at a beach in the Gulf of Mexico... I would equally say "This is the Gulf of Mexico!" or "This is the sea!"
