Ummm, I think you meant "sesquipedalian."

Admittedly, language is a bit of an avocation of mine, and I am NOT a teacher - I'm an engineer (a group that as a class is almost infamous for sloppy writing), but even so, the only reason I brought up the "they" issue was because that ASA test was absolutely painful to read.

You are correct, but the point being I clearly communicated only to those who understood the word without looking it up. You think maybe that was 2% or so?

The rules are like the mechanics taught. They must be suited for teaching 40K and not less than the 2% that go on to work the higher levels of softball.
