Additional information and Comments

i hate to be the one to prove an encyclopedia wrong, considering the fact that i'm just a NYC carpenter. Actually i feel pretty intelligent for doing so. There is officially no body of water on the Earth's surface named the Great Southern Ocean. There are five global oceans and they are named as follows: Indian, Arctic, Pacific, Atlantic, and Southern Ocean. The latter officially named in 2000 by the IHO. There is no body of water named the Great Southern Ocean. Some encyclopedia you are, fix yourself!
> i hate to be the one to prove an encyclopedia wrong, considering the fact that i'm just a NYC carpenter. Actually i feel pretty intelligent for doing so. Please don't. This fact appears to have escaped you, but you are reading a digitised version of the 1911 Encylopedia Britannica. They've probably fixed it by now. Combined knowledge of Mankind, four zillion, carpenters from NYC, 0, but -50 million for style, know what I'm saying?
