      As far as I've always known, when people talk about, or want to know, how big       around something circular is, they use, rightly or wrongly, either the word       diameter, or the word circumference. Having said that, here's my question.        It's hard for me to put        it into words, so I HOPE that you all will properly understand what I'm       asking. What is the version of that, or what is the word that is, or would       be, for the version of that, that's for stuff that's square? In other words,       when someone wants to know        how big around something square is, what is the proper word that would be used       to say how big around the something square is? Thank you all in advance! : )              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
