*WEAK* is as bad as mini, this thing ripped up trees after all.

It was weak in relation to the tornadoes that they have in the USA.

Hi,

*WEAK* is as bad as mini, this thing ripped up trees after all.

Well, on the scale of things it was weak. The word 'mini' implies that
it is small. As anyone who knows anything about these things knows, some
powerful tornadoes can be very thin. So if people want to use the word
mini, fine. But it doesn't relate to anything meaningful. Much like the
stupidity of most modern news reporters using the word 'enormity' for
the wrong reasons.

If only people would actually think about what they have said, and what
it actually means, we wouldn't have such stupid terms being use. I mean,
if you have a light gust of wind, you don't say "a mini gust of wind" do
you?

The media might, but anything weather related is usually described as
'freak'.

Rob McElwee (R4, 12:57 today) used the word "small".

Has my old English secondary school teacher taught.
Observe, don't see.
Listen, don't hear.
Say, don't speak.

Whatever happened to whirlwinds?

They got left behind in the pile of leaves at the corner of the school
tennis courts.
