> > Hey Van, > > In my classes, mass is a verb meaning "to find the mass of." Weigh is > a verb meaning "to find the weight of." > weigh and weight are two different words--mass and mass aren't. (Which probably means nothing--just wanted to confuse you!) Part of my ob- jection is that weight is not an intrinsic property of matter but mass is. But in the end I'll probably discover that it's just simply that I don't like the sound of it! > De gustibus est non disputandum! > Whatever the hell that means! (and E Pluribus Unum to you, too!)
