By long run I mean 16 miles and up, and at a fairly conversational pace. Is this a "workout"?
If someone asks, for example, 'how many workouts a week do you do?' Do you include the long run in your answer?

Yes. So is an easy run.

Yes. Long run is workout. Easy run is not workout

Agreed.
Every run is a workout. Some are hard and some are easy. But, all are workouts.
Not every run is a workout, however a long run is. When I was in college I ran most my long runs easy to medium, no faster than expected marathon pace and usually slower. So after a Sunday long run I'd hammer intervals Monday. Despite some of the toughest training of my life I wasn't improving and it took me a year to realize lack of recovery was why. Long run is a workout. Respect it. Run it progressively if you feel fresh.
please refer to Hanson's SOS terminology. your answer is there.
You are either working out or you are recovering.
If you need a day or two after a long run before completing what you may traditionally call a workout than it is by definition a workout.

Workout mean vigorous activity. Easy run no is workout. It is easy.

Wrong. Categorically wrong. ALL runs are workouts. In fact the most important runs of the week are your easy runs -- they are the ones that will produce 85 percent of your fitness. The rest is just the icing on the cake.

Easy run is not vigorous. It easy.
Workout: a session of vigorous physical exercise or training.

An easy workout is still a workout. And a very useful one at that.
