Ordinance or Ordnance as a point of Realism
« on: April 05, 2005, 08:58:08 PM »
The words are so often confused and / or mis-used in here..

The word commonly mis-used = ordinance

noun  
1. law: a law or rule made by an authority, for example, a city government.
 
2. something prescribed: something regularly done because it is formally prescribed, especially a religious ceremony, such as Holy Communion ( formal )

The word meant in here 9 times out of 10 = ordnance

noun  
1. military military weapons systems: military weapons systems, including supplies for their use and equipment for their maintenance
 
2. department responsible for weapons and supplies: the army or government department that has responsibility for military weapons and supplies.

I know that you're just trying to spread a little knowledge around, Midnight. I suspect you'll get flamed, though. It's disappointing that so many native English speakers over the age of 16 are so ignorant of their own language.

Should we add that separate is spelled "separate" and not "seperate?"

I'm beginning to sound like my father...

'i' is nowhere near 'n' so it would hardly be a typo, it's called a spelling mistake.

In these days of spellchecker, people make excuses for bad spelling, punctuation and grammar, rather than expending the effort to do it correctly.

Btw in French :

Ordinance == ordonnance
Ordnance == ordonnance

According to Webster online both english words came from "Middle French ordenance, literally, act of arranging"

Prescription == ordonnance
