I'm going to make a guess that they'll say "geography" or >"geographical". I hope you don't conduct all your experiments with such built in bias ;-) What about asking some non-scientists? And some people called George! A Google search for "geo" has just returned, in the top five results, none with the meaning "geograph*" An eBay search finds "Geo V" coins and stamps and "Geo III" silver. Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geo> also has a number of other non-geographical uses. -- Andy Mabbett Say "NO!" to compulsory ID Cards: <http://www.no2id.net/> Free Our Data: <http://www.freeourdata.org.uk> _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
