LOL-Yes, they can be rough.
LMAO-Yes, it is an ocean.
The
Gulf of Mexico (
Spanish:
Golfo de México) is the eleventh largest
body of water in the world. Considered a smaller part of the
Atlantic Ocean, it is an
ocean basin largely surrounded by the
North American continent and the island of
Cuba.~Wiki
What do you know.
The Gulf is considered a smaller part of the Atlantic Ocean.
This reminds me of the time my nephew took some "seashells" to his first grade class for show and tell. He told everyone he got them at the lake(Havasu or Mead). The teacher insisted his seashells could not have come from the lake. I guess she didn't know that part of North America and many other parts were covered by great inland seas at one time. I wonder if she knew anything about plate tectonics, or the fossil record, for that matter. I bet she didn't even know that Las Vegas was once ocean front property. LOL, LMAO, etc., etc., etc.
