So what;s the differnce between a term and ID a name and a label.

When the cops ask you for your ID they want more than your name.

And if you didn't give it, they could charge you, you could be accused of assualt and battery is that it ;-)

In the USA that wouldn't surprise me. FFS they have a law against crossing the road without waiting for the green man (or walk signal in their case).

I think it's called j-walking.

Indeed. Americans are so stupid they get into trouble for endangering themselves.

They do worse things IMO.

Like?

let almost anyone have almost any sort of gun they want and as many as they want.


When a studnet asks me for a barrery I asked them what type. When they say 1.5V then I asked them what size. AA or AAA are those we use.

To that question I then usually get "er.... the really thin one".

I'd say, what for a realyl thick student, I do try to educate my students, I;d like to think that when a studetn leaves with a degree they can at least tell batteries apart. Our thin batteries are mostly LiPos.

You can get those in AAA can you?

No but you can get them in the size they make them in.
How many square AA batteries would you like to buy ?

47.

So you think a battery company is going to make you a batch of 47 square AA batteries, they won't ask for 47,000 or more and you might get them.


If they ask for a 9V they'll get a PP3. I often get asked for 5V battereis and I say we havent; got any.
If they ask for a battery called Tom, Dick or Harry I'd asked them for the order code and supplier.

I'd ask them if they'd forgotten their medication.

yes that would be a good reply.

(in US
cop shows). (British cops just ask you for your name and address
supposedly.)

sometimes they ask DOB too.
At my college there's another with the same name as me, so just a name wouldn't be much to truely ID a person.

Does he live at your address?

No but sometimes we get each others emails. (email addresses)

There should be more names so everyone is unique.

People can make up names if they wish, you made yours up but chose traditional

What?
Whats so original in the name you've chosen James Wilkinson Sword
Never heard of a james or a wilkinson or sword.
I've a pair of scissors here with wilkinson sword written on the bald
did yuo thiunk that wilkinson sword was an original name or ID.
You should have chosen james AA square battery.





Same with batteries really.

Not if you also gave their address, which I guess would be "kitchen clock".

wouldnl't tell me which type of battery they took would it.

All clocks use AA.

Yeah sure. How many clocks take square AAs ?

Irrelevant.

If you;'re making AA batteries because they go in clocks your better off making those batteries cyclindrical NOT square.


I just installed a remote (wirless) battery bell push unit.
The battery is the bell push is apparently a 12V 23A alkaline battery according to the instruction manual.
See how much confusion can arrise that;s why I try to be clear to all my students, a student asked me for our box cutters she meant end cutters so I showed her the differnce between our end cutters and our side cutters.

Its why I like to find the proper name for things even if I then prefer not to use it.

99% of people are thick, ignorant, or just plain stupid.

Are you trying to use this stat to prove you're normal ?

Normal means the same as most people. Same as most people = thick. So clever folk like me are unusual, not normal.

Your certainly not normal, that's for sure.
If yuo;r so inteligent why not get a batch of square AA batteries produced yuo'll make a fortune no one else is selling square AA batteries.
So fgo for it the only one in the worl woth squar AA battereis you'll make a killing won't you with you;re unigue selling points of, "Not made for Normal people", "these batteries won't roll of your desk or table".
