Thursday, 22 April 2004 | Fishermen vernacular

I put up pictures from my day at the Jersey shore. According to Freddy, it's called the "shore" instead of the "beach" due to the regional impact of the fisherman vernacular; since fishermen see the strip of sand between the land and water from the perspective of the water, they see it as the "shore," as opposed to the land dwellers, to whom it's the "beach." Hmm.
