I dunno. Most people would agree that a football is round, but would they say that about a rugby ball?

So, are you suggesting that a football, and rugby ball are both round ? ;)

I think you are choosing a definition of round to suit your point of view.

So if the Earth is not "perfectly round" , is it in FACT, really round at all, or possibly nearly round, or roundish ? :-?

Which means (I think) that you have agreed (without saying) I was right. :grin:

I'm sure that in your day job the precise meaning of words, and factual information is paramount.

I rest my case. :dance:

Oh FFS this has been discussed and described in the archive so many times it is daft. This is just more bunsen burner game playing. Do your own bloody work and use the search box for the archive. But NO this is not about finding an answer this is about your ferkin' game playing. AND to put it bluntly I have had enough of it. I really cannot be bothered to wait for weeks or months of your games before the inevitable booting. SO ONE MORE EXAMPLE AND YOU ARE GONE!

I thought the discussion about "what is a fact" was quite interesting. :)
