Please, the three words (high, tall, large) are clearly defined, and they do not mean the same thing (whether speaking of mountains or men). Maybe that is news to y'all? Anyone considering himself a scientist should be precise enough to use the correct word, and qualify it when necessary.
BTW, here is a fun link, since someone brought up McKinley (I am not connected to this website):

Why is it other people get away with putting their personal website links down here, but mine is erased? Am I being discriminated against?

Your stories are tall and your points highly dubious and largely irrelevant. I'm sorry that I can't be a bigger man, but I've decided to return your great rudeness in kind.yahchanan wrote:Please, the three words (high, tall, large) are clearly defined, and they do not mean the same thing (whether speaking of mountains or men).
