Strange American

[SilverBreeze]

Some Americans can sometimes be rather weird, but this one is well beyond the pale!

Was that the prototype model for the Island Packet SP Cruiser?

Strange American - tortology surely /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Perhaps you mean "tautology" as in: "All triangles have three sides."

And thus: "All Americans are strange."

No surprise that you should suggest the study of cakes should apply to our transatlantic cousins, given the prevalence of obese variants of the glorious human form (cue Lakey) over there, but your serendipitous digital offering might suggest that "tautology" would prevent "Disgusted, Tunbridge Wells" rushing to the rescue of the English language.

I now prefer tortology when rerrring to tubbies.

 

[Searush]

Isn't Tortology the study of civil law offences?

Must have all the stability of a Nottingham binge drinker at 0200 on a Saturday.

Are you sure the "$" is not Australian $?

Usually referred to as Tort, I think ?

But I was playing around with the idea of "Torte", a German / Austrian sort of cake /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Is this not the marine version of the Popemobile? Just about safe for use in the Trevi Fountain....

While true, it is not self-evident. A better example would have been all triangles have three angles. But I fear your correction is wasted on a forum where any comment on grammar, spelling or comprehension of the english language is vituperated against by those too ignorant or lazy to make the simple effort to reread their output before pressing "Ok, submit"

[/ QUOTE ] Um, surely that is a definition, not a tautology. A tautology would be to refer to a "three-sided triangle"..... he he /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
