How many 'world seas' are there, according to a centuries-old standing sailor expression?
7
The expression the "seven seas" is a figure of speech dating back to the Romans ("septem maria"). It has been used to refer to different bodies of water at various times and places. The original "seven seas" seem to have been the Indian Ocean, Black Sea, Caspian Sea, Adriatic Sea, Persian Gulf, Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. Today we recognize more than 50 seas worldwide. A sea is defined as a division of the ocean which is enclosed or partially enclosed by land. The Caspian Sea, Dead Sea and Aral Sea are only "seas" in name. Technically speaking they are "saltwater lakes". On the other hand the Gulf of Mexico and the Hudson Bay do not get the name "sea" though, again technically speaking, they are seas.
Linguistically the stock-phrase is "the seven seas".
