    what is the definition of “common definition”, though? that’s a wishy-washy stand, is it not?

    the first dictionary definition of the word states that land is the solid part of the surface of the earth, which is contrary to your distinction between “land” and “surface”. that’s a more solid and substantial position, is it not?

        well, i’ve provided a bonafide source. whereas you’ve provided only your opinion.

        i’m not sure from whence this righteous outrage arises.

        i would be happy to understand any issue in my source or any contrary sources that support your opinion that the seabed is definitely not “land”.
