You can say rules are rules, but this rule is very subjective. Even your explanation of what should be "appropriate" is not based on what the rule is. Now I have no problem with your application if it works for you. Knock yourself out and call a T every single time if you see fit. But the language then NF use is going to change from one person to another and is going to change depending on who we work for. Of course you can talk about what you will call; you use a term that is no where in the rule. I also feel that sporting events are an extension of the classroom, but every action just like in the classroom do not send you to detention.

What world do you live in? Obviously not the one I want to be associated with.
