suffragette,
Do you have a reading comprehension problem??
I stated in a previous post:
When I say "Hanford"; I mean the US Dept. of Energy weapons production facility.
When I say that, I'm telling you what I mean when I say "Hanford".
The word "Hanford" is over loaded, there are multiple meanings of the word "Hanford".
One could mean the production facility, or one could mean the site.... The only way to be unambiguous is to write out the whole name of the facility every time; but that gets cumbersome. So I use the word "Hanford" to mean the production facility. Anywhere you see me say "Hanford", please mentally substitute the full name "US Dept. of Energy Hanford nuclear weapons production facility".
I told you in the previous post what MY shorthand definition was for "Hanford".
Now you say that the State of Washington disagrees with me.
I'm giving you MY shorthand definition. I'm telling you what I mean by the word "Hanford" out of the multiple meanings.
Put your brain in gear and THINK - how does the State of Washington have anything to do with MY personal naming convention??
People here post some of the most ill-considered, and ill-thought out posts; but yours takes the cake.
The State of Washington disagrees indeed!
I'm telling you which one of multiple definitions of the word that I use for my convention, and the State of Washington may have another.
However, I'm telling you what I mean so that you can understand future posts.
Belay that; you've proved you probably will NEVER understand if you can't understand the previous post.
