Default Incorrect terminology


Sorry to be banging on about this so much but it's been a pet hate of
mine since an occasion when I had to argue the toss in Court with an
obstinate QC who insisted that a gale had occurred because there were
wind gusts to 35 knots. The outcome of the case depended on whether or
not there had been a gale. Sometimes it matters!
