    the maths doesn’t add up, though. three-quarters of the earth’s land is already covered by ocean.

    if the same proportion of land has permanently dried up, that means that at least half the ocean floor globally is exposed to the sky!

            what is the definition of “common definition”, though? that’s a wishy-washy stand, is it not?

            the first dictionary definition of the word states that land is the solid part of the surface of the earth, which is contrary to your distinction between “land” and “surface”. that’s a more solid and substantial position, is it not?

              Is this a joke? I genuinely can’t imagine you being serious right now.

                well, i’ve provided a bonafide source. whereas you’ve provided only your opinion.

                i’m not sure from whence this righteous outrage arises.

                i would be happy to understand any issue in my source or any contrary sources that support your opinion that the seabed is definitely not “land”.

                  No, I’m a different guy. It’s just really hard to believe you could be serious. That’s sad.
