INSPIRATION - The Penultimate Router Table
http://home.kendra.com/mauser/mavica/RT/RT0.html
If he can do it, you can probably do it. Or, at least some of you. It ain't rocket sicience after all. JOAT If you can't say anything nice about someone, you must be talking about Hilary Clinton. |

Look up "penultimate." It doesn't mean what you think it means. (Was some router table link--probably not the next to last one.)

Tue, Jan 24, 2006, 10:21pm (EST+5) From: (LRod) did
post, changing the subject:: Uh, you "do" know that I don't name these things, don't you? I just post 'em. Unless "he" doesn't know what the word means, apparently he plans on making another one. JOAT You only need two tools: WD-40, and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape. |

I'm hoping that he does know, as I would be sad to think the reference
as the ultimate. |

The LRod entity posted thusly:
So you knew what it meant all along but left the incorrect interpretation in the subject line over your signature to be emblazoned in the archives and apparent ignorance inextricably linked to you forever. Sure. There is no indication whatsoever that the fellow in question used the term incorrectly. He will have used it correctly if at some future time, he decides to design one, and only one more router table. If he does not design another, or if he designs more than one more, he will be in error of fact only, which still does not indicate incorrect usage of the term. About the only thing you can criticize regarding his use of the term is that he used "the" instead of "my", possibly indicating that one and only one more router table will ever be designed by anyone. |

Actually there are subtle variations at play here. Ultimate has a
usage which is much more qualitative than sequential. The "ultimate" saw (for example) would be the saw which is so wonderful and perfect it is incapable of being improved. Penultimate, otoh, simply refers to the next to last of a sequence or set. I think Mr. Router Table was trying to imply that his table is the best possible and thought that since penultimate has more syllables, it must be better than ultimate. All this knowledge and I STILL can't make decent dove tails! FoggyTown |

Uh, 'scuse me, but didn't it occur to anyone that the OP might have
been making a point with the "correct" use of penultimate? There will never be an "ultimate" plan for a router table, thus to label his as the penultimate will always assure it a place in the pantheon of router table designs, e.g., the next to last design. Mutt. |

I'm with Mutt......He's leaving himself some room for his next design
to be just that little bit better.. Thus (please insert triumphant horn salute here) it will become the penultimate table. ;-) |

If he's only going to make it, "just that little bit better", both of you need to go stand in the corner for awhile. Thus (please insert triumphant horn salute here) it will become the penultimate table. ;-) Best we can do is a whopee cushion. JOAT You only need two tools: WD-40, and duct tape.

LRod wrote: So you knew what it meant all along but left the incorrect interpretation in the subject line over your signature to be emblazoned in the archives and apparent ignorance inextricably linked to you forever. Sure. So your position is that someone shouldn't use a perfectly good word correctly because some psuedo-intellectual might come upon it and assume that it was used incorrectly?

Try reading what the guy wrote on his site: "Penultimate because I'm sure one day I'll improve upon it" He knows, so that's what he called it. JOAT just quotes the title.
