One of these days, could we newbie/dummies get a brief lesson on what it means when you mention Leeward Islands, Lesser vs Greater Antilles, etc?

I should definitely make a map and share with the class. Meanwhile, the basic are that the Greater Antilles are Cuba east to Puerto Rico, the Lesser Antilles are all the little islands south from the U.S. Virgin Islands to the northern coast of South America, the Leeward Islands are the northern half of the Lesser Antilles, and the Windward Islands are the southern half of the Lesser Antilles.
