oops, scratch that again. It just occurred to me that the right term is 五湖四海. Sorry!

weiwei, it just popped into my mind this second, that the idiom is 五洲四海. As you can see, I am indeed a little rusty in my Chinese. Actually a lot is coming back to me since I started participating in the forum and kudoZ.
真有点露怯 :D
CHEN-Ling Jan 5, 2007:
记得小时候老师教我们拼字时,将“氵”叫做“三点水”或“水字旁”,而“州”作为字的组成部分时则称作“州字旁”。所以教学时我们就跟着念:“三点水加上州字旁,组成洲字。”现在老师教字可能方法不一样了,但读法还是一样。
不知你所说的读音,是否指中文读音?

应该是“洲”,手写体有人将“州”写成“卅”
CHEN-Ling Jan 5, 2007:
“卅”有可能为“州”之误,好像“氵 + 卅”无法组成一个汉字,而“氵 + 州”则可组成“洲”。

洲 is "五洲六海" 的洲

Indeed, that is the written version of 洲 for some people when they write fast as chance pointed out, or 草写体.

The pronuciation is the same as 周, i.e., zhou(1)
