Isn’t it kind of funny that people tend to use the expressions “desert island” and “deserted island” interchangeably? Usually when talking about things like “What five books” etc. would you want to take to a desert/deserted island.
Surely what we usually mean is deserted island, right? As in being stranded alone somewhere. Though I guess desert islands would probably not tend to be that populated either.
But are desert islands even that common? Most of the islands people frequently go to are quite tropical. Don’t deserts usually exist on large continents?
No larger point there, really.
