nautical word.

Hmmmm - wouldn't that be a nautical "term" rather than a word?

Not that I'm an editor or anything, but it seems to me that a "term" is
a word, word pair, or word group, that is used in specific contexts for
a specific meaning.

Just asking.

And it was an irregular series - if and when I came across something
interesting.

You could call it a "term" if you like, but as samson isn't really an
adjective in this usage samson post is more of a compound word than a
term, IMO. Regardless, the definition is correct and it clarifies a
very common misnomer
("Sampson post") for the same component.

Your first nautical word post included a reference to a "daily"
series. Sorry to have mentioned you at all. I'll make an effort to
avoid using any of your names in the future. Since any guy with your
level of maturity and class will do likewise, I'm certain we won't be
seeing references to one another in our posts.

Have a pleasant Tuesday.
