*** Yes, an example with odd numbers would be a good idea. For the record, I thought the official answer was that you don't round. If you're going at a speed of 9 mu, you move 4.5 mu in the first half of the movement, and 4.5 mu in the second half of the movement. *** As with the range bands, unless you see a contrary statement... I just meant that, as it's intermixed with the examples of spliting turn points, and half MU's can be a novel concept, it can lead to confusion. I can testify as to my first few readings. I still haven't seen it stated explicitly, and examples could have carried the info. Oerjan: Just for clarification, isn't code for Kra'vak 'Karl', and the 'Karla' in 'Karla's Kidnap' a female of the species? Otherwise, I think I used Karl before, and could well have confused are own dear lister in Germany. ;->= Matt: The inestimable Mr.Brain has already related of being in a meeting in the US, making a mistake on a pencil drawing, and asking the group for 'a rubber.' My favorite construct, though I've never heard of it happening to an Brit trying to chat up one of lasses, would be 'I'll come around to your flat and knock you up...' Allan: I think the appreciation of 'bum' might be more common than you think, though you're correct that it tends to be seen as 'derelict' or 'out of order'. 'I've landed on me bum' seems well understood. Now, in the other direction, I understand a friend went to Nottingham, stop me if I've already shared this, and told her husband's family to wait a bit while she got her 'fanny pack'. Apparently, one of the aunts almost fainted until informed 'no, dear, she means her bum bag...' Churchill and Murphy STILL rule! Well, I got SOME GZG in this one... *sigh* The_Beast
