They changed it in 2000. The ones I posted are the accepted ones
now.
Look at my link. It shows
them on the globe. There are five oceans if you combine north and south
Atlantic and Pacific but they're
separate now. So that makes seven total. Sailing the seven seas? You've
heard of that haven't you?


Cheers,

There are only 5 oceans. The South Atlantic, North Atlantic, North and
South
Pacific are seas, not oceans. Lake Michigan is also a sea. Michigan
has more
coastline than Florida too.

I've heard of the Seven Oceans. It says so in my Wiki, so it must be
right.

Yeah...wiki is right about everything..."Ellen" probably wrote the
article...
