Chris -- The spelling is either "parameter" or "perimeter" depending on what you're trying to say. I hope you're saying "perimeter" which has to do with limits and boundaries, but I fear you were intending to say "parameters" which is what most people say with this meaning. Unfortunately, a parameter is a specific type of item in a mathematical or scientific equation, and doesn't mean edges, limits or boundaries, except in certain very restricted meanings. One hears it more and more, though, with the meaning of "limits, boundaries, restrictions." "Perimeter" -- the edge of a geometrical figure -- has a much closer definition and would fit your sentence much better. So please tell me that is what you were trying to spell!

Thanks.

End rant. You may now return to your regularly scheduled bulletin board.

Since were off on a tangent....

Juulie, I actually think parameter can be applicable. Parameters are the terms under which something functions.

Perimiters are just about the edges, not the space enclosed by the perimeter.

Please note that the above was a weak attempt at humor. There's no need to go all MTD Sr. on me.

I had an all deaf team in their 20's - most of them could hear the whistle, so that helped. Most of them were pretty skillful - but not the bruiser in the middle. I fouled him out, and, while leaving the floor he was gesticulating at me and making noises directed at me. I said - and I had been told the team could all read lips - "That's enough". And he said "Eff you"., clearly enough that I could read HIS lips. I teed him up . . .
