The "Measuring - Don't Be Oral Anal Retentive" introduced
the term "story stick", implyng that it's synonymous with
"slip sticks" It's not. They're two different things, intended
for two different purposes.

Nicely done, with the exception that the above erroneously implies that the
term "story stick" was introduced as being synonymous with "slip sticks" ...
it was not.

More succinctly put, a slip stick is a measuring device, a story stick a
reproducible record of project dimensions without further need for
quantification.

A story stick, properly made and carefully wielded, will generally result in
a more accurate reproduction, with fewer errors and less waste, than a tape
measure.
