Touche! I'm embarrassed to report that I understood what that meant.
symantics aside, thanks for the advice. If any of you guys feel like taking a look at my load line questions it would be apreciated:

That's a tricky one. Many units are named in honour of the pioneer in that field (such as Gauss, or Weber) and we normally capitalise units named after people (as opposed to abstract units like metres or inches). It appears that once a unit has become a generic, it is acceptable for it to lose the mark of respect that capitalisation confers.

I got stumped the other day thinking of the right word for this one:
If sight is "visable"
and sound is "audible"
then smell is... "?"
"odorous"

Well according to this literary discussion forum, the word "smellable" acutally exists even if used rarely. Dittio "olifactible" -- well done!
"Odourous" didn't get much of a gurnsey, though I feel I've heard it used more.
I wonder if the smell of a burning tube qualifies as "mephitic"?
