Dear List Members:
 
This morning in class, the students and I came across a sentence in their grammar handbook that apparently contains a misusage of some sort that we could not identify:
 
The Keweenaw Peninsula is surrounded on three sides by Lake Superior.
 
The only explanation we could some up with is that "three sides" should be replaced with "all sides" because a peninsula only has three sides and an isthmus. Or does it have two sides?
 
Best-
 
Carol
