As more and more printed material is coming out from our wonderful graphic artists I figured I'd bring up a point that I've noticed --Seaside is almost always used as one word when referring to a place or naming something based on it's proximity to the sea. I did notice it's more spaced out on the hotel sign, but I've been trying to steer things in the direction of using Seaside as one word. If you do a quick web search for "sea side" you'll see what I mean it rarely ever comes up as two words and then it is in reference to very specific things like nonspecific sea side activities. This probably only bothers obsessive compulsive native English speakers (i.e. me) but I figured I'd put it out there for consideration.

That's an interesting thought.
I've been using it as two words, Sea Side, because to me on the hotel entrance, which is the only written in-game reference I've seen, it looks like two words.
I have no problem changing to one word if that is the will of the people.

When does a sea become an ocean?

Ohhh ohhh (raising hand up frantically) I know this... I was a geology major!! A sea is body of salt water that is completely or mostly surrounded by land. (For example: The Mediterranean Sea, not the Mediterranean Ocean). Seas are close to land, and oceans are far from it. Also Seas tend to be no more than 300 meters in depth. Go deeper and you're officially in a ocean. And I won't bore you with the geological differences between a sea bed and an ocean bed.  <Geek mode off> Be careful what you ask! LOL |
