The only explanation we could *come* up with...(sorry!) --- On Thu, 9/29/11, Carol Morrison <[log in to unmask]> wrote: From: Carol Morrison <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Word usage problem? To: [log in to unmask] Date: Thursday, September 29, 2011, 10:08 AM 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?
