I recall taking a trip up to Duluth, standing at the Western extremity of Lake Superior, and trying to reconcile the vastness of the blue eastern horizon with the word “lake”.

A crossing of Lake Michigan in the mid-60s left me with the same feeling. Hours and hours on the sea with no land in sight.

"Duluth" caused me much trouble more recently, as it is very close to a Scottish Gaelic word (not exactly "corner", but close) -- turns out it's from a French explorer's name.
