Variante de the pondAlternative letter-case form of the pond (“the Atlantic Ocean”).
The legendary liner is retiring from transatlantic sailing after 33 years of crossing the Pond between New York and Southampton, England.
The Pond, as it is dismissively known, is certainly in need of a revamp. Its waters have been despoiled and plundered to the brink of disaster – and in the case of the Grand Banks cod fishery, sent over that edge into deathly extinction.
Perhaps it is a reflection of a larger cultural shift. Arguably, the distance between Britain and the United States (please, not the Pond) is as small as it has ever been.
We have the ATLANTIC OCEAN running down the center of our grid today and, on either side of the “Pond,” Mr. Trudeau has managed to symmetrically place the British and American English equivalents for four words.
