I distinctly remember from my college linguistics class that in the UK, "creek" is a synonym for river... it could essentially mean any body of flowing water, no matter how big. In the US, it seems to refer distinctly to a small stream. -Artificial Silence 02:39, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not going to start listing the hundreds of BC "creeks" which are actually small rivers - and some of them are big rivers, especially in comparison to small rivers (even reasonable-sized rivers) in areas of teh world that are not as montane and not as wet....suffice to say that hte wording mabye needs a bit of adjustment. "In very wet, mountainous areas, this term may also refer to a river" or something to that effect....samples are Rutherford Creek, Meager Creek, Moseley Creek, Fitzsimmons Creek, Herrick Creek, but many many more also.Skookum1 (talk) 16:33, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
