Consequences...

Personally I think the wording might be a bit misleading. Prins Christian Frederik was not the last Danish ship of the line, only the last in the (although very decisive for the future of the navy) Gunboat War.

Peninsula or Tongue of Land

Johansen.fred has just changed the description of Sjællands Odde. He is correct that Sjællands Odde is a peninsula, but I maintain it is better described as a tongue of land (which is good English). Nobody on Wikipedia has called it a spit, as far as I know. The problem is possibly linguistic, but the Danish word Odde does translate as "point, headland, tongue of land" - Ref: Høst & Søn Lommeordbog (Dictionary) - Engelsk Dansk - and my personal experience of the area does emphasise that "long tongue of land" is the better description.
Before reverting Johansen.fred's edit, are there any comments from him or others? Viking1808 (talk) 23:08, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I can't remember having heard this expression in English, although as a non-English speaker I wouldn't presume to know for sure. In any case, it might be prudent to use the same term that's used in the page of Sjællands Odde itself. Fred Johansen (talk) 15:58, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
