You have no credentials in any facet of language, and are not in a
position to state on your own that "dead reckoning" a phonetic spelling
of "ded reckoning.

In fact, the "phonetic" spelling of "dead" is "ded." Further, several of
the sources cited here know (or knew) how to spell. And you're not among
the good spellers, either.

Nor, in fact, are you much of a sailor. Where the hell could you
possibly have sailed in that bitty daysailer boat of yours, in your
bitty Speedo swim trunks?

Find yourself another fresh boating troll, but this time, spend a bit of
time in research before you make a fool of yourself...again. And stay
away from word definitions...when it comes to language, you are at a loss.

hoary contributed the following useful information

The only difference between Jax and Harry is Jax is a troll who is very
effective in starting long boating related threads. Harry is a troll who
is very effective in starting long Non-boating related threads.

Since this is rec.boats, Jax serves a purpose with this trolling posts,
Harry does not.

A. Doubtful.
B. Guys don't count.

Also Dutton's Navigation and Piloting , thirteenth edition. Index,
deduced reckoning..see dead reckoning.

Section 8 Dead Reckoning
Introduction 801 " Dead Reckoning (DR) is one of the four main
divisions of navigation.....The term is derived from deduced or ded.
reckoning, the process by which a ships position was deduced or
compared trigonometrically, in relation to a known point of
departure.....

DR Defined 802 " Dead Reckoning is the process of determining a ships
approximate position by applying to its last well-determined position
a vector or a series of consecutive vectors representing the run that
has since been made using only the true courses steered and the
distance run as determined by log, engine revolutions, or calculations
from speed measurements, without considering current....."

No entry in Lenfesty for "Ded Reckoning."

There is an entry for "Deduced Reckoning." It reads, "See Dead Reckoning."

No entry at all for "Ded" or "Deduced" in
Mckenna. Only for "Dead Reckoning".

I'll leave wandering around in a fog with just
a speedo to others, thanks.

He's actually kinda a hydra-headed idiot at that, and appears here under
several different idiotic right-wing handles. Like most of the others,
he lives for notice from me. Poor little ****.

Nah, I could care less if you respond to any of my posts. I know you read
each one of them. I have also noticed you have not discussed your wife's
two degrees or your lobster boat since both of them were pointed out as
being a figment of your mind.
