Re: Grand Central Parkway & Long Island Expressway

Found this tidbit on a linguistics site:

The words for:

sea; and
lake
respectively,
in Dutch, are:

zee; and
meer,
whereas the German translation of the same is:

das Meer; and
der See.

This striking, almost completely opposing, contrast between the current Dutch terms and the German terms has been noted numerous times.
