    clearly, it's this attitude that has given sp'ed his reputation for being great in bed or in his case, outstanding in his field. You couldn't handle my moves. getting on your hands and knees and saying "baaaaaaaa" is not a move. It works on Polish Bob!

    Technical English is not subject to legal argument. If catbird says "An element" he doesn't mean the car from Honda, or fire, the way an alchemist would have. Same when discussing days "with" rain or days "of" rain - it's technical English. Which is what we are discussing - how many days it has rained. So to claim that the two are equivalent is ignorant.

    Why don't you stick to law and leave hydrology and climatology to people who know something about it?

    yes and doesn't that change the emotional tenor entirely? like the difference between Bach and Satie. it changes how dry the rock is too.
