Or that it is a regional thing...as I mentioned, I'd never heard that 
definition before.
The main thing I don't understand is: why are clumps called flakes? They 
aren't flake shaped, the crystals are (usually). The clumps are just 
irregular ball shapes, sometimes (relatively) big chains. Maybe I'm just 
expecting things to make too much sense.
