Further to the 'favourite misnomer' subject, I was reading:
"A Short History of St. Michael's Mount [Cornwall]", by the late Canon J. R.
Fletcher:
"At the nearest point on the mainland lies the market town of Marazion with
which the Mount is connected by a stone causeway, half a mile long* (*Halfway
across the causeway is a square stone with a socket in which a cross at one
time was fixed. The cross has disappeared, but the stone is called 'the
cross')". (p. 1).
Note _the_ favourite, but one of them...
Cheers,
JL
