![]() ![]() This expression refers to the tradition of giving a wounded soldier a bullet to bite on in the absence of an anesthetic while performing surgery on him on or near the battlefield. It now refers in general to somebody who literally abandons a location, mentally disengages, or figuratively rejects a previously held conviction or opinion. The acronym for “absent without leave” (pronounced “AY-wall”), sometimes spelled AWL (though pronounced the same), refers to the status of military personnel who desert their posts. Now, in civilian usage, it denotes an incompetent or obstructive group in a company or organization. This obscure but oh-so-useful phrase originated in military usage to refer to a unit of particularly inept recruits. ![]() Most, like “bite the bullet,” are clichés, but some, such as “bomber crew,” are unusual (so much so, sometimes, that in writing they may require a partial explanation). Real scuttlebutts have long since passed into naval history (though I am told that the word continues to be used in the US Navy for a drinking fountain) and the word has shifted its meaning to the rumour and gossip itself rather than the place where one exchanged it.Military terminology and slang is a rich source of expressive expressions. This is how Herman Melville put it in White Jacket or The World in a Man-of-War of 1850: “There is no part of a frigate where you will see more going and coming of strangers, and overhear more greetings and gossipings of acquaintances, than in the immediate vicinity of the scuttle-butt, just forward of the main-hatchway, on the gun-deck.” Today’s office water coolers have pretty much the same ambience. It was the one place where members of the crew on duty in various parts of the ship could meet and talk during the working day. Fresh water was so precious that a guard was often posted by the scuttlebutt to ensure that water was only taken to drink and not, for example, to wash clothes with. So it became known as the scuttlebutt - the cask with a hatch in it. To make it easier to scoop the water out with a tin pot or dipper, the head of the cask would be removed. It was usual to have a water cask on deck so that the crew had easy access to drinking water during the day. The verb to scuttle dates from the mid 17th century, at first in the sense of sinking a ship specifically by cutting holes in it - today we use it for doing so by any means. It’s of uncertain origin, but might be from the Old French escoutille, meaning a hatchway. That’s been around since the fifteenth century, when sailors called any smallish hatchway or opening in the deck a scuttle, especially if it was covered with a lid of some sort it was the usual term for an opening to let in light or air. The sense we want is the one of a hole cut in a ship’s timbers. Nor is it the one that means to move with short quick steps, perhaps like a spider that comes from an old English dialect word. It’s not the flattish open container, made of wickerwork at one time, whose name survives in coal scuttle that’s Old English, from Latin scutella for a dish or platter (its first sense in English). The first half appears in the language in several senses with different origins, so we have to be sure we’ve got the right one. Do you have any thoughts on this?Ī The second half is easy enough - a butt is just the old word for a large cask. Q From Clair Merritt: My friend and I have been trying to figure out the origin of the word scuttlebutt. ![]() ![]() You’ll notice that each of these so-called sentences is not a complete sentence. Because they are hairy and frightening with large, pointed fangs and shiny, yellow eyes.The haunting of the house on the craggy hill just outside of town.Sometimes, a fragment is simply a dependent clause punctuated like a complete sentence. ![]() Sometimes, fragments are missing a subject. To put it simply, a sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence that you have punctuated as if it is a complete sentence. Sentence fragments always make the list of the most common errors, and they are among the most seriously stigmatizing errors we can make. You just have to recognize the error and figure out if you need to add a subject or a predicate, add it, and voila, it is fixed!įor the practice questions, no. Sometimes, they’re careless during the proofreading and editing process.īut, similar to run-on sentences, the good thing is that sentence fragments are easy to fix (well, they’re a tad more difficult, but not complex). Sometimes, they don’t realize that their sentence is incomplete. Sentence fragments are common grammar mistakes that many people make. ![]() If you found these questions helpful, you can find more of them (and ones with more detail and complexity) in workbooks, which you can find at my store here.
![]() ![]() You can replace the provided extension tube with one that uses a compression ring to provide a more secure, non-marring connection for 2” eyepieces, but for a $1000+ telescope, this is really inexcusable to have to do. Most well-made focusers and extension tubes use compression rings to grip your eyepieces, and the 1.25” adapter provided uses one and also has threads to install 2” filters on your 1.25” eyepieces-a nice touch. You should expect to have to collimate pretty frequently, though maybe not every time you set up the scope, but it’s not a particularly difficult process.Īs with the 8” model, the focuser on the StarSense Explorer 10” Dob is a basic 2” single-speed Crayford, which uses thumb screws to grip an extension tube (required for most eyepieces to reach focus) that also uses thumb screws. However, since no collimation tools are provided, you’ll need to make or purchase one separately. Unlike the 8” model, the StarSense Explorer 10” doesn’t require a screwdriver to adjust the primary mirror. This is important to keep in mind when shopping for eyepieces the cheap, poorly corrected wide-angle eyepieces practically thrown in for free with similarly fast scopes are better than nothing, but paying large sums for them to use with the StarSense Explorer 10” Dobsonian isn’t as logical, especially for a scope that already costs several hundred dollars more than the more well-equipped competition.Ĭollimating a faster telescope like an f/4.7 is slightly more difficult than a slower instrument. At f/4.7 focal ratio, “SuperView” or “SWA” eyepieces derived from the Erfle design have edge-of-field astigmatism and field curvature (making it look like you’re viewing at warp speed or from inside a fishbowl), and any low-power eyepiece with a true field much wider than the included 25mm Plossl eyepiece has obvious coma around the edges of the field of view.Ĭoma is easily ignored and often masked by other eyepiece aberrations edge-of-field astigmatism and field curvature are less so. The StarSense Explorer 10” Dobsonian is optically a 10” (254mm) f/4.7 Newtonian reflector with a focal length of 1200mm. In the case of the 10” model, whether this is an agreeable trade-off to you depends on how much you have in your total budget for a telescope/accessories, and whether you’re able to handle either the price and complexity of a 10”/12” truss tube telescope or the inconveniences of a massive solid-tubed 12” in lieu of purchasing the 10” StarSense Explorer. However, as with the 8” model, the StarSense Explorer 10” occupies the same price bracket as some scopes belonging to the next step up in aperture – a 12” – and lacks any of the features of “deluxe” or truss tube scopes at equal or lower prices.Ĭelestron is, in essence, charging hundreds of dollars for the privilege of a plastic bracket and an access code for a phone app with the StarSense Explorer telescopes. The StarSense Explorer technology makes locating “faint fuzzy” deep-sky objects a lot easier, without the complicated setup, power requirements, or price of a fully motorized GoTo system. The StarSense Explorer 10” reuses most of the components of the Sky-Watcher 10” Classic Dobsonian, which is essentially the same telescope but with a slightly different accessory package, a heavier base, and no StarSense Explorer bracket. Celestron’s StarSense Explorer 10” Dobsonian is the largest of the telescopes offered as part of the StarSense Explorer lineup, which also includes an 8” Dobsonian and various tripod-mounted telescopes of dubious usefulness and quality. ![]() |
