Ray,

<<<Your imprecise language is driving me a bit batty.>>>

My comment was based on that of an MIT engineer who called the Empire State Building a "masonry" structure, and later in the same article described a masonry structure in Asia as "reinforced concrete".

<<<Get thee to an engineering dictionary and work on upgrading your slacker vocabulary, sir.>>>

That strikes me as a lot of trouble to go to for no other reason than to improve my vocabulary on a subject that is only of passing interest to me. If it makes you feel better, though, I promise to pick up a copy before I build any skyscrapers.
