Comment:        Re: SHK 12.1306 Re: Geography

Terence asks about why Gaunt would see England as an island.

These sorts of errors strike me as rather common:  Canada always treats
itself as the north, when it's mostly south of Greenland; half of Europe
talks of itself as the 'west', when it's clearly east of the Atlantic;
the US keeps saying that it's bordered by oceans, when it's also
bordered by neighbouring states; Australia calls itself down under, when
all you have to do is flip over a globe to see that it's up over; and so
forth.

Cheers,
