Marginal sea: a division of an ocean that lies along a continental edge and is partially separated from the open ocean by islands, peninsulas, land ridges, etc.: for example, the Mediterranean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Philippine Sea, and Bay of Bengal.
It does not mean that the sea is insignificant as your comment would seem to imply.
If we never include overseas territories and never let them be in the quizes on their own, how are we suppossed to learn abouth them?
"Nobody reads the quiz description. Heck they don't even read the frickin' TITLE. They just comment without the slightest clue what they're talking about".
I sigh. It's a feeling I know all too well. I drain my beer and head home to my wife and seven children, who haven't seen their father in several days. Life feels devoid of all meaning. I signed up for this, but I still rue the day when I chose to become a quizmaster.
