Small island or large island. Trying to figure out these things drive me batty. TIA

    I thought that the only "island" varieties were "small island" or "no island". Then there are some "doublings":

    I looked in Charlton now, and I'd say it's an 'Island". My Charlton has island, small island and no island. I'd say that yours is the equivalent of a large island.

    Yes, that's the normal island, 2021 Charlton does not call it the large island. The small island also has very thin and slightly shorter water lines
