Ämne: [Norton AntiSpam] [TN] NTC - Nouns of Assemblage
We have been having snow flurries today here in Ottawa. This is an improvement over the driving snows of last week, and it's warmed up to -6C.
The Holidays are upon us, everyone seems a little excited, good spirits abound. In the spirit of the season....
I am a biologist who started working in the electronic industry 29 years ago (started on x-sections). I rarely get to use the primary scope of my education in this industry. Oh if someone gets hurt I can apply a bit of human anatomy and physiology, sickness allows me some respite in patho-physiology, down stream from the ammonical etcher allows a jump into extreme ecology and the possibility to describe a new species or two, but the majority of the time its, electronics, material sciences, physics and chemistry.
I am very content to be a biologist in the electronics industry but I do miss my original calling. I on occasion try to bring a little bit of bio into my work. To that end....
In biology we have nouns of assemblages. For example; a "gaggle" of geese, a "herd" of cows, or a "flock" of birds. "Gaggle", "herd" and "flock"
are
the nouns used to describe the assemblages of those animals. Some of my favorite nouns of assemblages are a "pride" of lion, a "murder" of crows and a "parliament" of owls. We had a "parliament" of Great Horned Owls living in the eves of our house in Calgary a few years ago. I was proud of our "parliament"; the cat seems a little nervous that year.
Indulge a biologist; what are the nouns of assemble in this industry?
What
noun describes a gathering of electrical engineers, quality managers or company presidents?
We call 6 IST test coupons connected by V-scoring a "raft" of coupons.
Are
there nouns of assemblage for a box of resistors, IC, or connectors?
Would two or more electrical engineers be called a "shock" of double eagles?
Could one say that two or more quality directions is a "statement" of quality directors?
Sincerely,
Paul Reid
