Except when it's a stream, or a brook, or a rivulet.    (02)

There is flowing water (well, today it may be frozen; last week, it 
was flowing) that passes under a bridge I drive over on the way from 
my home to GMU.  Whether that something is a river or a stream or a 
creek, is open to endless debate.  I agree that it is what it is, but 
is it always a river?  Always not a river?  I don't think that 
question has a definite answer.    (03)
