Ok, here's another quick easy brainless way to waste lots of time here. :p How it goes is, I post a sentence, then the next poster makes up the next sentence to continue our `story'.

Clarrisse was in love and was just about to board the plane.
The private Lockheed jet was heading southeast.
They were nearly across the baltic ocean when the engine started to sputter.
Her Latvian blood stayed cool as she knew she had packed her parachute perfectly.
However she did not fully trust the Polish co-pilot.
She took a deep breath and thought about the one she loved.
and suddenly she was at peace with the world
Until, her celluliod iliac broke.
*offtop*
excuse me, but what on earth is baltic ocean?! :eek:
Uh, the Baltic Sea is in northeastern Europe, surrounded by Scandinavia, Germany, Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania. !!!
*I think Demona meant the OCEAN part... Baltic Ocean is nonexistent, it's a SEA.*
The use of either `sea' or ocean is fine. Look it up in the dictionary, as well as reference to Baltic Sea AND Ocean all over the place.
This is like making fun of people who try to participate in these forums and english isn't their first language, or they have dyslexia or vision problems, and people make fun of their spelling and grammar. :mad:

Jay has already pointed out my problem: why is it an OCEAN all of a sudden? if you mean that it is acceptable in the US - please point it out.
unfortunately, i did not find any kind of proof that "ocean" can actually sustitute "sea".
I thought it was a 'poetic licence'....
