Hi Dave Here's the flawed sentence that Mac found:
"A metal rod or sheet protrudes from the window on the outside of the building and casts the sun's shadow on the sundial face design." If you think about it, it's a misstatement because it says that the rod casts the sun's shadow. The rod does not cast the sun's shadow; the rod casts its Own shadow. The sun has no shadow! It's a great lesson in dialing semantics, Thanks Mac. How bout changing the sentence to: <A metal rod or sheet protrudes from the window on the outside of the building and, when lit by the sun, casts its shadow on the sundial face design....> John ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Bell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "John Carmichael" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, July 04, 2003 10:06 AM Subject: Re: Stained glass sundials page title > > That's not the first time I've made that dumb mistake.
