geography word

Random thought: Have you ever heard the word "vast" used in anything
other than geography/history textbooks?

Chakolate...

Hmm. Now that you mention it, it does seem to be geographical in the
vast majority of cases. ;-)

Stan( just wondering):)

I've seen it in novels about the early settlers of the west. The vast
prairie, the vast mountain ranges, etc.

Vastidious? Fastidious about everything?

Yoj...

A few decades ago, somebody remarked that television programming was a vast
wasteland. That's sort of geographic, sort of not. ;-)

Arch (TX)...

Not really, it is just the truth!

JD Cooper...

sure, as in such statements as: "vast knowledge".

david...

uh, along that same highly intelligent thought process... have you ever
seen or heard the word "within" used in other than ads for job openings?

Arch (TX)...

Actually yes! Many time. Some examples (some are jokes but still
demonstrate the use).
He was within a few yard of landing when a tree sprang up in front of
his aircraft.

We are within our rights to protest. (Proper grammar???)

Within this building there lives a ghost.

Etc, etc, etc.

Mikals11...

Yes....

I've been told many times theres a "vast" open area between my ears.... ;-)

nospam...

Gee -- you too? !! :o)

Yoj...

Unfortunately, that is so. Fortunately, I don't have to spend a lot of time
lookign at it.

nospam...

Yes -- a doctor I know used that word to describe an extremely obese
woman - he said her waistline was a 'vast circumference'!!!!!
