Southern Ocean? WTH is that?

What kind of answer is "no" to a question that starts with "what kind of..."?

The OP doesn't know how many oceans there are. No surprise his son inhereted his intellectual prowess.

I have always called it Antarctic Ocean never heard of Southern Ocean.

Hmmm...this may pose some issues with my plan to swim in all of the oceans in the world

Next they'll decide Greenland is a continent.

Wouldn't surprise me. How people view the number of continents in the world does vary quite a bit

Ah, that makes more sense

That's stupid. The "southern" ocean doesn't as distinct a natural boundary as the others so I vote NO. I guess the motivation for this is that the waters there are so cold that the ecology is different. Screw that!

We should learn the plates instead. Publishers could make a killing on new editions every time one gets subducted.
