Felly sgrifennodd Adrian D. Shaw :
Felly sgrifennodd Alan White : I'm mildly sensitive about the white out topic (as you may have gathered!) because it came up at the beginning of February and was sorted and has now come up again. I just checked back on that thread, and I didn't miss it first time round. It does not refer to what might be meant by "near white-out", nor even mention that phrase. I agree with what you said in that thread that a true white-out only occurs when there are no visual clues. And I agree that it should not be misused to describe a snowstorm. However, I also think that the phrase "near white-out" is perfectly acceptable, as it clearly differentiates itself from the true white-out. The original poster made this distinction, and therefore was not saying anything which should offend you. If you disagree, read this message again replacing "white-out" with "dark". Do you still disagree? If not, why not? Adrian -- Adrian Shaw ais@ Adran Cyfrifiadureg, Prifysgol Cymru, aber. Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, Cymru ac. http://users.aber.ac.uk/ais uk |
