Well, I keep getting annoyed when people misuse the word "exact". jh Send a noteboard - 12/02/2022 07:28:38 PM

Especially in a scientific context; the everyday use of the word to mean something with a decent degree of accuracy could be forgiven, but people pretending to have a degree of knowledge should be able to use it correctly.

Ok, I admit it. It's easy enough to understand what people mean, but I want them to know they are wrong.
