Shouldn't that be "A submarine is a boat" ? |
How many of us saw that before and it didn't even register it was reversed?
I went through about 300 boat photos of many different scenes from Saturday, starting less than an hour before cut-over, picked out about 25 of the best, and gradually narrowed it down to what I think was the best. Quick editing and submitted with about 2 minutes to spare. Hopefully I picked the right one and had enough time to process it good enough. |

Yes, a submarine is a "boat". In Navy speak,
You can put a boat on a ship.
You can't put a ship on a boat.

Someone (a seasoned mariner type) explained to me a while ago the difference between a boat and a ship. I think I understood what he meant, although I could well have got it wrong.

| Well, not many of us want to post our dismal scores, so we discuss how dismal our entries are, instead :) Feel free to post yours, though! |

Lol, thanks Karen. I just realised it wasn't the score thread he'd posted in (thought he was being sarcastic), but you beat me to it with the link.
I asked SC to move it to the challenge results section :) Sorry for any confusion! |

The challenge description WAS pretty liberal, giving the impression (at least to me) that pretty much anything at all boat-like would "float". :) |
The description called for more than one boat.

No it doesn't -- the category is "boats" a plural noun, followed by a list a examples which could be used; it is customary in common English usage to use the pural form is such cases where you are not referencing one specific item in particular, but including any of a member of that class.
I can give you official assurance that in this case the intended meaning is "one or more boats" ...
