If I had known that all it took was an errant ‘the’ to annoy Navy types I would have been at it years ago. All this time I’ve been referring to floors/doors/kitchens/toilets (decks/bulkheads/galley/heads) and calling everything that drives in or on the water a boat. I could have saved so much effort by just saying the HMS Arkroyal etc.

PPS. Edited due to misunderstanding a previous post and being unnecessarily harsh!
