They call it over seas because the waters that were sailed way back when were considered the Seven Seas. Can't remember them right off hand, but I think you can get google on dial up.

wikipedia wrote:The term [sea] is used colloquially as synonymous with ocean, as in the tropical sea or down to the sea shore, or even sea water referring to water of the ocean.
"Sea" is used to describe any large body of water, from large lakes (the Great Lakes are sometimes described as freshwater seas) to portions of an ocean (typical of named seas) to oceans as a whole. That's why we also have "out so sea," "seaside," "seabirds," "seaworthy" (actually, the last may be more related to referring to large ocean swells/waves as "seas," esp. those encountered during a storm).

My wife is afraid that if I start doing that, we'll lose the house. Even though I'd only play on free sites.

What does she think I am an addict or something?
