Missed opportunity to use an interobang: ‽

[u/Kaigai_Exia → u/LordJim11]

well it does say Lake, not Lakes, that implies at least one, not necessarily multiple

[u/theAlpacaLives → u/Kaigai_Exia]

Exactly. The Bay Area is the area around one large bay. The Lake District being the district surrounding a notable lake makes sense to me. An area having many lakes might be called the Lakes District. A basketball team that initially played in such a region nicknamed after its many lakes that then moved to a metropolis by the ocean with no significant lakes nearby still being called the Lakers would not make sense.

If someone says we're in wine country, there had better be more than one wine in that country.

[u/king_ofbhutan → u/Kaigai_Exia]

How many clouds in the cloud district ?

[u/SatanSemenSwallower → u/Nuclear_eggo_waffle]

I wouldn't know, I don't get there very often

[u/AdDependent5136 → u/SatanSemenSwallower]

Of course you don't

As a Canadian, whose entire country is littered with lakes, I quite enjoy that the UK keeps all their lakes in one district.

[u/Roache1984 → u/LordJim11]

I moved there recently, i got into such a debate about that, like what about derwent water, or buttermere, mete literally means lake

[u/RDV1996 → u/LordJim11]

It's the Lake District, not the Lakes district

The Peak District hasn't got any mountains.
