re: What's the difference between a Pond and a Lake ?

Difference in vegetation growth. Lakes are typically large enough and deep enough that waves form and prevent plants and shite from growing along the shore while ponds will have large amounts of vegetation along the shore and algae on or just beneath the surface.

They teach this in college courses in Limnology. 
Some limnologists define “ponds” as any water body less than 2.5 acres in surface area regardless of depth, others define lakes as any water body deep enough to thermally stratify, regardless of surface area. At the end of the day it’s boils down to semantics, unless legally defined by a regulatory authority.
But I have to say this is the best definition I’ve ever seen
