"Are there any lakes in the Lake District?" might seem silly, but "how
many lakes are there?" is a fairly common trick question.

[one, Bassenthwaite]

So in what sense is, say, Coniston Water not a lake? Is it just that it
doesn't have 'lake' in the name, or is it geologically different soehow?


It's a linguistic game, same as asking how many lakes are there in Scotland.
