It seems like a no-true-scotsman problem. The examples of seas that are freshwater are dismissed as not actually seas since they're freshwater.

- dncornholio 4y agoI thought I'd go with the same method as the article, using examples. I dismissed all the examples the article has given, and asked for better examples where we call a fresh water body a sea. I think we haven't and shouldn't. It's already confusing enough. Call all salty water bodies seas would be fine with me. But including non salty waters will only add to the confusion.
