[edit] Terminology "Sound"

This article refers to Clayoquot Sound as a land based geographic area when that term actually describes the waters adjacent to the area this article refers to. I believe that its use to refer to the land based area is fairly recent. Somehow we should remedy this misnomer. --KenWalker | Talk 08:59, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes.. there should at least be something about the actual Sound, which is quite complex and notable in its own right. I'll try to get to adding something about it. Pfly (talk) 16:18, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
The same problem presents itself with Queen Charlotte Strait and Straight of Juan de Fuca as well as Nootka Sound and others; Howe Sound, too, is a "region name" as well a a body of water. This issue came up in Category talk:Puget Sound also, as Pfly noted re my consideration of a Category:Strait of Juan de Fuca subcat to Category:West Coast of Vancouver Island (and also Category:Queen Charlotte Strait as a subcat to Category:Central Coast of British Columbia, the Strait/Sound cats should bev for water bodies, not regions...Category:Juan de Fuca region is an option, in this case I guess Category:Clayoquot Sound region migth work, although for the Tofino-Ucluelet-Bamfield area in generala, as a subcat of the West Coast Cat, I was thinking Category:Pacific Rim....oh, that doesnt' work either, huh? Sigh.....not taht small-region cats are necessary.....Skookum1 (talk) 16:52, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
