Can we get back to Funny Comments, and take the arguments elsewhere. Pleeeaaaasse.
Well done, Whirly! It must be still blowing a gale up your way, too.
OK, it's scraping the bottom of the barrel, but here goes...
I was invigilating the AGK exam for a roomful of 18 yr-olds on a course we're running. There was one question about C of G. One by one, as they got to the question, several of them signalled to me in desperation. They then pointed to a word and whispered 'what does this mean?'
The word was 'aft'. Made me smile a bit. We had actually covered it during the lectures!
Now all these people have got 'A' levels and stuff; I'd have thought that the word 'aft' would have been a part of someone's vocabulary by that stage. Anyway. In case you're wondering, yes, I did offer an alternative word 'rearmost', without giving away the answer.
