Love this article. I wonder if this is a brain-type thing. It really rings true for me. Developing the idea, I have a similar multiple definitions problem, in a much smaller context, with the word “prescription”. In the UK it means all of: a doctor’s idea of what medicine to give to a patient, a piece of paper with that written on it, and the medicine itself. I got thoroughly confused when I went to collect a prescription from a pharmacy and was told “it’s (still) over at the surgery”. It wasn’t, or rather, it was. But we were talking about different prescriptions. Anyone else have these (pedantic?) confusions? |

“Extrusion” is a process as well as the object resulting from that process.
“By referencing the meter and adjusting the metering valve during extrusion, we can create a precisely meter long extrusion.”
Micrometer is a unit of measurement and measurement device that measures in that range, but often measures in thousands of an inch, which are commonly called “mills”, which is also the act of a type of machining and the name of the machinery that does it as well as the name of a common type of cutting tool that goes into that machine.
“Put an end mill in the mill and mill off five mills.”
