Dear All, I have now had a chance to look up the quotation from Lewis Carroll that refers to the definition of words.
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone. "It means just what I choose it to mean - neither more or less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all." Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) (1832 - 1898) I think it's still relevant to the way we write definitions in SI. Cheers, Pat Naughtin Geelong, Australia
