Line 45: * I really haven't the faintest idea how these random esoteric Google searches prove anything. Fancy finding any books or sources about lakes or loughs in Northern Ireland? Wouldn't you consider Google maps and Ordnance Survey to be far more reliable proof of what the lakes of Northern Ireland are called?

As set iut at [[WP:COMMONNAME]] they a comprehensive tests of which collective noun is used in [[WP:reliable sources]]: same set of phrases applied to both loughs and lakes and repeated on 3 sets of sources.

For that matter, there's an official body called the [http://www.loughs-agency.org Loughs Agency]. This is not a word solely used in Irish Gaelic, but commonly used in English.
